Some posts not showing up when logged in to my instance (lemmy.ca)

submitted 1 year ago by Jaybob32@lemmy.ca to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

When I sub to a community, I don't see all the posts if I'm logged in to my instance. If I go directly to url of the community I can see all the posts.

Is this a federation thing? Is it a setting? for example going to https://lemmy.world/c/askscience I can see everything. But when I sub to it and go there, I only see 2 posts and no matter what setting I choose it's always just those 2 posts. The site says there are 19 posts, and I can see them from the url. Help?

I understand that if you are the first to subscribe to the community it will only pull down recent posts. Older posts may get synced later if there are new comments.

I’m only just learning Lemmy though, so hopefully someone with more experience can chime in.

Oh, so it's a matter of my logged in instance needing to pull down the posts? As the first on the instance to sub to that community? I get it now. I'll wait and see if it changes. Thanks

You could try and comment on an older post and see if it the post gets synced with your instance. But in any case, all new posts should sync.

was going to try that, now there is only one post showing; there was two. I believe there are 19 in the sub. I can't find anyway to "show all" I presume that does not exist.

Another thing that could be effecting that is if you have Show Read Posts disabled in your user settings. That might explain why the number of posts went down.

[–] Jaybob32@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I checked my settings. Show read is checked. Only 1 post now. I unchecked "show read posts" and looked again and it was blank. Set it back to default and the same post comes back. Do that was not it either. In no case can I see any other posts on that c/

Hmm, that’s weird. I don’t have a Lemmy.ml account but I can see 15 posts on their copy of askscience: https://lemmy.ml/c/askscience@lemmy.world

Could it be a caching issue on your device?
