It is on your profile. Do you have "Undetermined" selected in your language settings?
The language settings are set to auto.
I'm using the Photon frontend if it helps.
The auto-setting is about what the language the frontend uses, what Blaze meant is the language visibility setting in your profile.
Edit: hmm, I can't actually find that setting in Photon, but what ever you set it in the classic lemmy-ui might still effect visibility on Photon.
I need to add language settings to communities and profiles. I really dislike how lemmy handles this though.
If you change it in lemmy-ui, it will propagate to Photon because it's an account wide setting.
Ah, so that confirms my suspicion that is propagates from lemmy-ui, thanks.
I agree that the way this is currently handled in lemmy-ui is really bad, but I am not sure how to do it better either. At the very least "undetermined" should probably always enabled and not possible to accidentally unselect.
I'm wondering too. /u/[email protected] was it the woodworking one?
I believe to ping someone, you need to put an @ symbol before their name instead of /u/. Depending on how you're interacting with Lemmy (web or app) it should provide some means of auto completing the ping.
Yes that one
Curious, did you get a long from my mention or did I format it wrong?
No, I didn't get any notification from your original ping attempt.
If this is about your post in [email protected], I can see it just fine by checking the post history from your profile. I'm using Voyager.
Yes it is. That's interesting, it's still not showing up on my profile for me.
Also checked on Voyager, nothing.
That community only accepts posts in 'undermined' language, so if you aren't seeing anything from there, but you can when you log out (to simulate everyone else's view of it), then it's probably a user setting that prevents you from seeing stuff from that language. If you go to the 'collapse' community and posts by 'Midnight' are missing, then it'll be that (similarly there's a comment here from 'originallucifer' - if you haven't seen it, it's 'cos of the language thing).
Awesome, logging out (switching to 'guest') made everything show up from my home instance.
I am/was able to see the comment from originalucifer, however, from before I logged out.
I am able to see posts from 'Midnight' on the 'collapse...' community when logged in.
Interesting. Funnily enough, my comments are coming through to Lemmy as 'Undermined' too (just a PieFed bug, easily fixed), so the fact that you saw it (as well as the comments by the others I mentioned) means it's not a language thing. That's good, in a way, because it should be physically impossible to actually de-select it.
So, sorry - at least we can rule one thing out, but I don't have any more suggestions.
Communities only federate to an instance once someone from the instance has subscribed to the community.
So an hour later, while logged out (in incognito mode) I am seeing your post on https://slrpnk.net/c/[email protected] and can find it on your home instance directly at https://slrpnk.net/post/14701745 - this is in addition to seeing it on https://lemmy.ca/c/woodworking and directly on the magazine's instance at https://lemmy.ca/post/31909201
Also, the post likewise shows up for me when I view your profile on either your home instance at https://slrpnk.net/u/technomad or on the magazine's instance at https://lemmy.ca/u/[email protected] (and again, that's logged out and in incognito mode).
Finally, I see your post on lemmy.world in the same three places - the magazine https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] , your profile https://lemmy.world/u/[email protected] , and the direct post itself https://lemmy.world/post/21403325
Sometimes posts from lemmy.world take up to three days to federate to my instance, so an hour isn't too bad really.
sounds like an issue with your local instance. federation seems to work, as you imply the post shows in the remote community.
i have seen that behavior before with database/process issues causing the local post not to show despite it being successfully sent to the remote.
How long did you wait? Sometimes it takes some time for things to get federated.
As long as someone is subscribed to it from your home instance, it should get there, though.
