Lemmy and languages or disappearing posts (self.support)

submitted 1 month ago by voracread to c/support

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

For almost any community on the desktop I get to see only single digit posts or nil. The same community accessed through any app on my phone has lots of posts.

I have tried to understand the language selection thing in Settings on desktop, but I am unable to understand my language selections. There seems to be no way to know if a language or undetermined are presently selected.

How do I ensure that I can access all posts while browsing the default UI on the desktop?

The Alexandrite UI seems to show almost all posts like the mobile apps.

Are you logged in? The languages cant be, because this would be filtered by the backend ( and so it would be equal on all apps/websites ).

Could you send us the affected communities? So that we can check on our side if we can reproduce it.

I think I may have found out the cause. It is probably because default sorting is set to Top Day rather than Hot. If the community is low activity, there is no top post for that day and results are blank. Changing the sort type to Hot produces results. I think Alexandrite is the only UI with default set to Hot and rest are in Top Day mode probably.

I have logged into each UI. Take example of this community. In the default UI I could see one 3 hour old post which was specifically marked English but nothing else. After trying to fiddle with language settings thinking it could be that issue, later all posts disappeared. But Alexandrite showed everything.
