Idk why I have so many questions for Beehaw Support this week, but I have a more immediate issue i’m trying to figure out. Several posts that I created yesterday are no longer showing up anywhere in Beehaw, similar to what was described in this post.
Yesterday, I made one post in c/Gaming and one in c/Music, and neither are visible anywhere. I’ve tried checking from my profile page, and specifically from within those communities. I’ve also tried checking from my mobile app, Sync. Regardless of where I check, those posts seem to be missing. I’m also noticing on my profile page that it says i’ve made 19 posts overall, but only 10 posts are showing on my profile page. I am 100% certain that these posts actually went through, because both had comments from other users that I viewed and replied to. I’ve checked the modlog and didn’t see anything about my posts being removed, so I don’t think it’s about that, either.
Idk if this is a widespread issue or if it is specific to me, but if it’s widespread, this seems like a serious issue we would want to address. Beehaw is already starved for content, and posts going missing would be exacerbating that problem.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
I think this is the way language settings are supposed to work. When I tried it, it wasn’t actually possible for me to un-select ‘Undetermined’ and for the change to go through. So we all have ‘undetermined’ pre-checked, but typically don’t won’t to see posts in every language available, so it only shows posts where a language wasn’t specified. From then, we choose the language(s) we understand and leave everything else unchecked. Since you had English unchecked (the same as anybody else who doesn’t understand it), your posts were hidden.
