Some community’s posts when viewed from other lemmy instances are not showing up (self.support)

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/[email protected]
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.

Yeah it's a really bizarre default setting, either there needs to be a way to capture language settings during signup or it needs to be made really, REALLY obvious to anyone who only has "undetermined" selected that they're missing at least one language.

Apparently the languages can also be limited instance-wide too, which complicates matters. The admin of startrek.website thought he was doing everyone a favour and simplifying things, at first, by limiting all user accounts on there to undetermined. But of course it just meant they were all missing posts tagged with an actual language.
