But, that should only matter when viewing via a logged in server. Those two links are to communities directly on servers. I suppose it’s possible no one on lemmy.sdf.org has subscribed to that community. That could explain the original question but doesn’t explain the example posted by @[email protected] example of https://lemmy.ml/post/1136642 vs https://lemmy.fdvrs.xyz/post/1436
(How do I get a link to reference a comment that works everywhere?)
I'm sorry, i don't know enough about lemmy yet to answer that. my advice about the language settings was what an admin told me when I had similar problems, and it worked for me. if it hasn't solved your problem, then I guess it's something else.
sorry I couldn't help more
No problem. You’ve probably been here longer than me. We’re all trying to figure this out. The question reveals issues I wasn’t aware of. You actually mentioned something that would be relevant in some situations that taught me something. I was just pointing out that I didn’t think your suggestion applied here.
All of us Reddit refugees are trying to figure out the nuances. I appreciate your comment because it taught me something new.
it's worth mentioning that changing your language setting may not have an immediate effect. it could take a but for the server to update, especially considering that it's under a very heavy load right now.
But again, that’s if you are viewing the community via the server you are subscribed to. For me, that would be https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] for the community and https://sh.itjust.works/post/8299 for the direct link. I just see 5 posts, which is less than either the original or the server OP is on.
My language settings shouldn’t matter when viewing servers I’m not logged in with. I do have both English and Undefined checked and only see 5 posts on that thread in sh.itjust.works.
