[SOLVED]: The issue was caused by having "Show read posts" unticked in Settings. This will hide your own posts from you!

I recently made a post^[1]^ to this community about a bug that I experienced and reported.

The post does not appear in the New feed for /c/lemmy_support nor does it appear in my user profile under Posts ^[2]^.

However the post does have 3 replies (from users on multiple different instances) which means that other users can see it across the fediverse, so it's not a federation issue. (Also, my account and the community are both hosted on the same instance - lemmy.ml).

I was not subscribed to /c/lemmy_support at the time I made that post, but I am subscribed now to see if that affects my visibility of this post.

Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding how lemmy works?

Interestingly, if I view my profile while logged out, it does show the posts that I made, but when logged in it shows zero posts in my profile.

I too cannot see my posts. Did you find any fix?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, my posts are still invisible to me in my profile. My comments show up for me though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you both probably have 'show read posts' (or something similar) disabled under user settings.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, that was it! Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you!

I'm not sure how to ping a user on lemmy so I'll reply to your comment: The issue was caused by having "Show read posts" unticked in Settings. This will hide your own posts from you!

OMG, thank you for reaching out to me! You're a goat

I'm on lemmy.ml and I can see it both on your profile page and on the new listing of the community.

Sometimes which clicking from page to page on the webapp, it doesn't get data right and I have to do a forced browser refresh of the page. Maybe that is your issue?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A forced refresh of the page doesn't seem to fix it. Even this post doesn't appear for me. If I view the page while logged out then it does appear. Very strange!

yha, I haven't heard of anything like that. Lemmy.ml is suffering from a number of internal failures due to overload, something inconsistent may be happening.

Also clearing cache and cookies is often the first step people take, but I advise trying a second computer first (even your browser on your smartphone vs. PC)... or shifting from Chrome to FIrefox... before going and removing cookies and such.
