Why is it that around 4/5 Posts or Comments just won't show up? - eviltoast

Ever since I joined 6 Months ago, I’ve had the issue where comments or entire posts won’t show up. Recently it has gotten even worse, where it feels like I can only see 20% of what lemmy has to offer…

To be a bit more exact, the Comment Count under posts and the total posts of a Community are always far more then what is actually there. Furthermore, if I post something and someone comments under it, I can read the comment in the inbox, but if I click on it to open it under the post itself, it simply isn’t there. Thats also why im certain that all those missing posts and comments are actually there, just not displayed

I believe non of those stem from defederated places. The only idea I could come up with is that back when I first joined, there was a discussion around some language settings that could screw with that for some reason. But nowadays I can’t find those threads, so I figured I’d ask here.

Thanks!

    Nah its specifically some sort of tool the admins or mods use for this instance and its a little buggy. You can respond even though the thread is hidden because technically those comments werent deleted.

      This is simply incorrect. It’s a voyager feature, and it has been used exactly one time on this instance.

      The problem the OP is describing is related to the way language settings are handled by Lemmy itself. They need to make sure they include their spoken languages and undetermined.

      This isnt the only instance where this is happening thought? Its happening everywhere. And most of those comments don’t break any rules either to warrent it being hidden?
