I have created a community, and made several posts. On one post, I see a comment, and have replied to it. That’s the only comment I can see. However, now a friend of mine has joined my community and he can see lots of comments on many posts (he’s sent me screenshots to prove it). I can’t see any of the comments he can see.
He is on a different instance, (lemmy.world) but that doesn’t seem to be the issue, because the one comment I can see is also from a user on lemmy.world, and the comments my friend can see are from both instances. There are even comments from users on sh.itjust.works that I can’t see either.
What’s going on? Why can’t I see comments on my own community and how do I fix it?
If I can’t resolve it, I will just have to close the community because it’s pointless if I can’t see or respond to anything that anyone else says.
And it’s just occurred to me that I may not even see replies to this, if there are any. … so I may never know the answer…
I haven’t started an instance. I’ve started a single community on sh.itjust.works. I have already been interacting successfully with other communities, it seems to be only the one I made that’s having problems. And I don’t think it’s related to federating, because most of the comments I can’t see are from users on my own instance.
It feels very much like a shadowban, except I know it’s not, because of that one single comment I can see.
Interesting, cant help you so heres to hoping a server admin can help you out.
Im new myself to this whole fediverse thing haha.
