Hey y’all, I used to have a lemm.ee account, but I’ve moved here because I can’t stand .world anti-communism everywhere anymore.
I see posts in c/drugs and c/badposting that show several comments, but I go in and the comment section is empty. I see communities in the search/local panel with tens of thousands of members but I open them and they’re empty. I’m browsing from Voyager on android, if that makes any difference.
If there’s a better place to post this, I’d gladly post it there
Edit: thanks to PokrollPosadist ! The problem was indeed the language filter, which for some reason I couldn’t change through the Voyager app since I don’t find such setting. I logged in using a browser on a desktop PC (didn’t test on mobile), and changed the account settings from there to enable all languages (English was disabled in favour of Spanish), and boom, now things are actually there! What a weird feature in my opinion, that most comments will be hidden depending on your nationality or where you login from!!
when you create an account directly on hexbear.net from a browser at least, it’s nothing to do with your nationality or location, the default is just “undefined, English” for everyone (hexbear comms won’t let you post any other languages afaik).
Voyager may auto detect your system language or something though and try to be helpful, if that’s how you signed up, or its also very easy to screw up the language setting on the web UI settings page and not realize it (its a known-bad bit of the UI)
Yours is the 3rd or 4th post I’ve seen over the past year or so with this exact issue
