Some community’s posts when viewed from other lemmy instances are not showing up
Here is one example:
- https://imgur.com/o00WaG5 - This image shows a hacker news community when viewed via lemmy.world instance. Here no posts shows up and just a blank page.
Link: https://lemmy.world/c/hackernews@derp.foo - https://imgur.com/zDhLf1q - This image shows the same hacker news community when viewed from it its own instance where it was created i.e derp.foo
Here every posts gets displayed.
Link: https://derp.foo/c/hackernews
So, why some community posts do show up only in the instance it was created? Or is it a lemmy bug?
This problem also occurs with some other communities.
Apologise for my bad english.
I believe you're looking at two different communities, both called Hacker News, but on two different instances:
No, both are same community.
The URLs are:
https://lemmy.world/c/hackernews@derp.foo
https://derp.foo/c/hackernewsI might have linked the URL as well in the post to avoid this confusion. I will do it now.
Those look the same to me if I make the sorts the same (e.g., sort both by new). Pretty sure the first image in your post is looking at the version on Lemmy.world.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !hackernews@lemmy.world, !hackernews@derp.foo
Looks ok to me (visiting through lemmy.world as in your first screenshot). However there was a bug before the upgrade to 0.18.1 where sorting by anything other than "new" was hiding posts for whatever reason, and looking at the footer in that screenshot you did take it before the upgrade, so it was possibly that.
If you're still seeing the community as empty now, double check your account settings and make sure you're showing read posts. Because they are 100% there from a .world point of view :)
yes, read posts is checked. Still the problem continues.
Ok, new theory.
In that community all the posts are tagged as "english". Since most people don't bother explicitly setting their language, I'm gonna guess that's been set at the community level.
Your post here isn't tagged with a language, because the community isn't forcing one.
SO. Is it possible you only have "undetermined" selected in your language settings, and not english? It's a multi-select so you can choose all the languages you speak (plus undetermined) by ctrl-clicking each one.
