I’ve recently started using the Boost for Lemmy app on my phone and it’s amazing. I was using Liftoff before but I’m switching over. However, I’ve noticed an issue. When I browse through communities using Liftoff I see a lot more posts and comments than when I use Boost.
I figured this was an issue with Boost at first, but when I used my computer to edit these screenshots I noticed the same thing happens in my browser!
Opening up https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy I see all the posts that Liftoff shows. Of course I’m not logged in since my account is on Lemmy.ca.
When I log into Lemmy.ca and view the community though: https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] I only see the posts that Boost shows! Many posts are now missing!
I figured this is an issue with Lemmy.ca blocking stuff. But wait! The most recent post (titled “Bug: Hiding all read posts also hides…”) has the URL https://lemmy.world/post/6954944 which, of course, does not allow me to comment on since I’m not logged in. If I search for that post through Lemmy.ca I find the equivalent post with the URL: https://lemmy.ca/post/7377534 which now allows me to comment on it through my Lemmy.ca account.
Does any one know what’s going on here? Clearly Lemmy.ca can “see” all the posts in the BoostForLemmy community on Lemmy.world. Even Liftoff manages to show all of them! So why does my browser and Boost for Lemmy not show everything unless I specifically search it out?
I know this is an older post but I found a solution that seems to have worked for me: https://lemmy.world/post/1617579
Tldr; Make sure you have both “Undetermined” AND “English” set as your language in your settings. I couldn’t figure out how to do this in boost so I just did it from my phone browser. Might need to hold control to select both if you’re on a desktop/laptop, idk for sure. I hope this helps.
THIS IS THE ANSWER
Thank you very much! I logged into my Lemmy settings on my computer and control clicked the languages I want to see as well as Undetermined. I now see all comments!
