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?
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Thanks for the help bot! For added info, I cannot see this comment on Boost (or using my Lemmy.ca account in my browser). If I attempt to view the comment through it’s Lemmy.ca link (https://lemmy.ca/comment/4092855) I get a Server Error. I can, for whatever reason, view and respond to it from my inbox…
