One community from linked post (feddit.uk)

I saw this comment which included a link to a crosspost in a different community. When I open that link, I see the post and the top of the view has the community name with menu. But I seem to be able to do everything (subscribe, favourite, block, read the sidebar) except just ‘open’ the community to see other posts. Am I missing the right place to click / menu entry?

Looking at this, it appears the comment you linked includes a community link, not a crosspost link. Tapping the link seems to open the the correct community to the post feed. I see the community looks quite new, perhaps you were the first one on your instance to interact with that community, which could mean there was just a delay in federating the rest of the posts in that community. Is it possible you opened that link expecting it to open a single crosspost, and instead it opened to a community with only one post showing, thus mistaking it for an open post the views are quite similar in appearance)?

If not, I may need some clarification on this issue, perhaps I misunderstood.

Ok, maybe this is just me still being a bit confused by federation. As the link opened the post, I’d assumed it was a crosspost link. Following it now, I see a different, single post. Viewing the sidebar, it suggests there should be 5 posts, and when I originally went there, it said 4. Given that I now see a single new post, those numbers add up—there are 3 missing somewhere.

But you’re right, it is a new community and so maybe it will just work out eventually.

Incidentally, I’ve turned off Hide Read for both feed and community, but I now see no posts in that community. Is there also a profile setting that affects this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ok, never mind. I found ‘Show read posts’ via the web interface :).

Ahh, I hadn’t even thought about that. Good catch. By the way you can also access most of those account settings from your profile page in Arctic, by pressing the gear icon.

Fab—that’s much easier. Maybe the Arctic settings for Hide Read could check and pop up a warning if they don’t ‘match’? Or even just change it for convenience?
