A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics.

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Why can I see some communities while logged out, but not while logged in? (lemmyf.uk)

This seems to be random. These are communities on the instance I'm logged into. AFAICT I'm not being blocked in these communities. I'm not even sure if mods *can *block someone from seeing a community. I'm guessing this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread on it.

Locking as this post violates rule 5.

Are you using Voyager? I've noticed a similar thing and didn't know if it was a Lemmy issue or Voyager issue.

Have you blocked them? You won't see them while you're logged in if you block them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Doesn't look like it. It's not in my list of blocks. I can navigate to the community, but none of the posts are shown. It's just an empty feed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Weird. Are you using a client?

Does that happen on the actual site?

Oh it's not NSFW and you're blocking NSFW stuff is it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if it’s some kind of weird shadow ban.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Shadow ban is different though. You can still post and interact but no one else sees you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

lemmy is fully open source (and other activitypub implementations), are shadow bans even a thing?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Do you have "Show Read Posts" turned on in the settings?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Do you have your languages set to both "Undetermined" and "English" in your settings? I had a problem seeing some posts with only one language selected.
