cool. I'm in the camp that the feature causes more problems than is useful. Entirely hiding posts of another language would not be my choice, it should at least say "there are 5 comments you do not see because of your language preferences".
Without more details, it's hard to know what you are describing. Do you mean comments from other people on posts you make? or your own comments?
I assume you are talking about the main webapp, lemmy-ui, and not a smartphone app or other front-end? The first thing to try is anonymous reading of the same post - are the comments there for incognito mode?
I'ts not uncommon for people on Lemmy to set their languages to something odd and and Lemmy will hide a lot of content.
OK, solved my own issue
lemmy-ui bypasses the variable if it sees you running localhost 1234, it hard codes 8536
export default function getExternalHost() {
return isBrowser()
? `${window.location.hostname}${
["1234", "1235"].includes(window.location.port)
? ":8536"
: window.location.port === ""
? ""
: `:${window.location.port}`
}`
: process.env.LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_EXTERNAL_HOST || testHost;
}
I’ve been informed that I’m not the only one that has been unable to see the contex
There is a now-closed issue on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1999#event-10012886671
"completed", but main doesn't compile, variable missing.
I have really had to do an attitude adjustment with this project regarding data integrity and testing. I'm made testing become my stable focus. I hope you are having a good weekend.
Lemmy not showing context?
For the home-gamers, that means "comment" context. comment links.
FYI: lemmy.world has blocked standard Lemmy outside comment links this week with an error response that makes the user feel they did something wrong.
So if a home server goes down will those posts disappear from the community server?
terminology wise, "home server of a community" and then there are remote-servers for that community. And Lemmy community/devs tend to call a "server" an "instance". To answer your question... if a user is on a remote instance from a community, they are reading copies of the content in a local database. If the community home instance goes down, the copies will still be there in the remote servers. However, they are now in an isolated island and none of the other servers will get the new post and comments - as the home instance of a community does distribution. There isn't any kind of warning indicator that you are on an isolated island.
Nothing disappears, but it is possible to have incomplete replication - have only some of the comments and posts and get an impression that nobody replied or that there isn't much content.
Lemmy is not showing replies
mind replying to the OP since most of us are on instances hes (likely accidentally) blocked?
With a very tiny include/whitelist you are excluding the majority of instances..s

I had thought federated posts were supposed to be copied to the local server
They are. It might have just been a coincidental outage.
I find it is hard to understand. Because now we all carry around a smartphone and can look at Wikipedia and a variety of other sources. On almost any topic, it is accurate with citations. And it really does not take that many people to create accurate sources of information. Truth basically is singular, you can detail it backwards and forwards. We have public libraries full of accurate information.
What I do understand is that oil companies spend a massive amount of money on branding, marketing, sports, etc. The information people believe isn't just random theories against how fire burning produces CO2 and warms up the Earth. They very specifically believe things the marketing and advertising tells them to. It's a basic business formula to spend x percentage of all your income on marketing. It works across every field, for every $100 income you put $3 right back into keeping your customer "educated" from a voice outside the product material (such as product placement in a film, or a sponsorship message between news stories).
I find people will sell their souls for free songs, free websites, free TV channels. They just don't see how artificial changes in group behavior can become popular through marketing/advertising. They can't face that marketing companies measure increases in sales, and sped precise amounts of money marketing a hamburger shop that everyone knows is there, but still the signal directs customers to change their choice of meals.
Even religions that are not their own. It's taught. They can't face up to the fact that a person who is raised with no religion does not believe the book they believe. And if you take them to a country with a different religion or human language, they can't make the connection that it is all learned.
I can understand not having a skill from experience. Spending 8 years to learn how to do surgery correctly. But there really isn't a reason for humanity to poison itself with marketing and advertising that climate change isn't real - just to keep a specific set of billionaires in power.
We could pay for our TV shows, songs, films, website. Not poison our minds with falsehoods in advertising. That chain hamburger shop doesn't need to remind us it is there, if it's good, we will go get a burger. It's the motivation systems of misinformation that seems the hardest thing to understand and change. People can be incredibly attracted to things they find "funny" or "odd". humanity can be sold all kinds of products that are not good quality or even cheaper.... just by branding/marketing/logo things. I can't understand why people haven't had ENOUGH of it. Like even the Reddit API change was about adding more marketing and cutting out apps that didn't do Reddit advertising.
Hi. This is typical right now of lemmy fderation based on my own personal testing.
- There is a 10 second timeout in HTTP that I think is on the short side.
- The peer servers your lemmy instance is trying to reach are suffering from big PostgreSQL overload due to some TRIGGER logic in lemmy 0.18.2 and earlier. Hopefully the 0.18.3 release will be fixed up and deployed on many of these sites fixing the worst of it.
As you also can see, one single http timeout spits out tons of log lines. I created a GitHub issue to try and get that down to one line so my server isn't constantly writing to logs. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3627
given lemmy's heavy focus on purging a user's content on account delete, I think comment links should include the username.
lemmy.world/the_username@home_instance.tld/comment/xxxx
This also gives self-promotion to the person, a sense of identity on their content.
