I’m really confused here. I was kind of freaking out for 10 minutes because all the posts on my Lemmy account on the lemm.ee instance from the last 7 months completely vanished out of thin air on my profile.
Than I loaded my profile page (this account) on my new account which I just created on lemmy.ml, and the posts all appear to still be there. So I’m confused, why is it that others can see my posts, but I cannot? If you’re reading this, can you check my profile and see if the posts appear for me please? The last post should be 5 days ago.
There’s only two things I can think of that might have bugged Lemmy out:
- I was playing around in the settings earlier, and clicked the “Bot Account” checkbox; but I can’t see how this would glitch anything, because I didn’t click “Save”.
- The profile I’m posting this on is on lemm.ee. My newly created profile is on lemmy.ml and has the exact same username (DreitonLullaby) as this one; but I’m not sure how this would cause issues, because they are on two completely separate instances.
That’s all I can think of. Is this a known bug? How can I fix this?
Yeah, I know what you mean. That note is misleading, and kinda redundant too - you can physically de-select Undetermined in the UI, but the change won’t actually take if you press ‘Save’.
I’ve just noticed something extra: As I said before, if I select English as a language, then “Undetermined” becomes deselected, yet the content still remains viewable. Well, I’ve just figured out why the content remains viewable: It’s because “Undetermined” for some reason gets automatically re-selected; it’s just that you can’t see that it’s happened unless you refresh the whole settings page (after saving).
I think the whole language section of the settings needs a redesign, because this is very confusing.
