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!

    You may want to go into your Settings and under Languages select both “Undetermined,” “English,” and whatever else you want to see.

    The settings page has a warning on it saying that if you deselect Undetermined you won’t see most content, but in my experience, most content in my communities is in English and won’t appear unless you’ve specifically selected it
