Why do I only see 19 posts in this community? (self.chat)

Eternity says that there are 569 posts in this community. When I access it through my sh.itjust.works account I see so much more posts (only old ones though). I don't even see the admin's post! I also see much less comments on those 19 posts than how many Eternity is saying there are. Just in general, I feel like I see so much less people and communities and posts than I should be seeing (I know we are defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works so that reduces available content by a considerable amount).

Edit: It was my language settings. Even though it was set to Undetermined, resetting it fixed it.

Try without being logged in, incognito or private and see if it all appears. Almost always this problem comes about when someone fiddles with their language settings and Lemmy doesn't show the rest. Or some other setting like not showing already read posts. The apps really need to say "5xx posts not shown due to your preferences".

Thank you! I pressed the x near the language setting on the website and saved it and now it works. Weird, given that Undetermined was already selected.

Straight up it's weird, it's kinda like "Undetermined" and "Not Set" are 2 different things

I was having the same issues with many Blahaj communities in browser

THANK YOU. I thought lemmy had just lost a shitload of users! I've been missing so many posts and I had no idea. >.<

For others who use apps: check your profile settings on the website, not only in your app of choice.

things like that happens to me when I sort by new with a strict time frame.

Yeah... When I sort by new or or top posts it eventually stops loading.
