I recently opened a new show and tell community for devs to share their projects but I can't see the posts when I access through community through programming.dev, but I can see when I access the community through lemmy.world. If I can't see the posts, I can't imagine that other people can see posts. I have not seen other communities with the same issue, I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do.
Solution: if you set your account to hide read posts then the back end will not even serve the posts so it appears as though there are no posts. I'm such an idiot

Have you set your account to hide posts you have seen?

TIL: that's a backend setting. I'm so embarrassed. Thank you

Not logged in, but can see all the posts via:
https://lemmy.world/c/show_and_tell@programming.dev
Seems fine?

Yes this is my best way to see my community right now, but I cannot see it through my programming.dev account which is the problem

Sorry, I misread. I can definitely see them on my p.d account.
I think you must have blocked the community by accident, go to settings and confirm it isn't in the blocked communities list?

What sort options are you using? If you're using top [time period] (which is what my defaults are), I see nothing, but when I switch to "new," I see posts, the most recent of which is 5 days old...

No cannot change sorting or anything else to make it work.
Also if nothing is appearing with the default settings then that's a problem bc newcomers should not be expected to futz with their frontend just to scroll through stuff. (Sry didn't want to come off snarky just concerned)

How many posts are you seeing on each? Maybe you are filtering out some content through blocked content on one of the accounts? I count 9 posts on all three of
lemmy.ca,lemmy.world, andprogramming.deveasy link for people that are looking into this: !show_and_tell@programming.dev

Sometimes I'd see between 0-1-4 posts after a random refresh. Now I see zero

Unsure if it helps, but I don't have an account on that instance, and when checking the original link, I can see posts normally:

Oh, right: try disabling your extensions.
Recently I noticed I couldn't get any posts from Loops and Aguppe instances on mine, and troubleshooting, the culprit was a very inofensive-looking Ublock Origin filter.
Also to those interested, the instance-agnostic link for the community: !show_and_tell@programming.dev

I can't use that as the post url
