Problem with a community on another instance (self.main)

submitted 1 year ago by pumpkin to c/main

16 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I found and subscribed to https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] yesterday and when I view it on sh.itjust.works I don't see any posts but on the original instance I'm seeing many posts.

Does anyone know what's going on there?

might be something to do with language tags, if the post is tagged with a language not selected in your profile you won't see the post.

I haven't figured out yet how to add more languages to the profile selector though.

I have all the languages available to select selected, but swedish unfortunately isn't one of them

What happens if you unselect all languages in your profile? That's my setting and I can see lots of posts.

[–] pumpkin 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes! That worked. If I unselect all languages it works.

[–] awdsns 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great! But that's some weird UX 😄

[–] pumpkin 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's... strange? I don't know if the list of languages exist is something the instance admins pick or if it's a Lemmy thing, but it probably should default to no languages selected so you can see everything. Maybe even when you look at a community and it says "no posts" it should hint at there are posts just not in the languages you've asked to display.

very confusing indeed, anyway thank you for your help! :)

yes, same here, I subscribed to a portuguese community but I can't see any posts, I'm guessing this is the reason.
