Better suited for the main community, the Agora is mainly for official discussions and votes.
Hello,
I’m the mod of Japanese Metal. For a few days now, the community appears empty to me, both on Liftoff and my browser on my desktop. Edit: it’s fine if I view it on my lemm.ee account, but that’s not optimal.
What might be the cause, and how do I fix it? Anyone with a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it’s not the language thing?
Maybe you’ve unselected undetermined or English in your account.
I’d check if undetermined is still enabled, as many people don’t select a language when posting and if you’ve deselected it, you won’t be able to see posts that don’t have a chosen language
Something’s not right. If I browse my sub feed by Hot, I see posts from 2-3 years ago.
Don’t browse by Hot, that filter is broken. Use top day, top 6 hours, and/or New. None of them are perfect but you can quickly view most of the content if you switch between them. They will fix the Hot and Active filters eventually but for now it’s a bit DIY.
Damn my feed looks much better now that I’m top day/top 6 hrs. I had no idea hot and active weren’t ideal. I thought that was just a lemmy thing.
IIRC, the “Hot” thing is a known bug in Lemmy that can be temporarily fixed by restarting the instance. Also IIRC, the admin restarted sh.itjust.works like a week ago, and “Hot” was working immediately after that, for at least a few days.
I’m still using mostly “Top 6 Hours” until the sorting algo for “Hot” and “Active” is improved.
But it doesnt change te fact that some of my subs are much more active / populated when viewing through my other instance account. Of course its hard to tell which instance is “to blame”, but some things are weird.
Is the missing content from lemmy.world users?
Do you have hide viewed posts turned on?
