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.
The fact english posts are hidden is a really big issue.
I thought there was an issue with lemmy. There really should be two lists, "visible language" and "hidden language", and some way to single click "activate" a language of it is inadvertently hidden when visiting a given community.#
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.
What's funny, !startrek@startrek.website is one of the communities where I first noticed.
Damm!
I have multi selected english and undeterminted(by default). Now it shows perfectly.
Extremely thank you.
Woohoo! You've probably been missing out on like half of posts everywhere. Welcome to a whole new world! :)
