Good good! Let the exodus to Lemmy begin!

SOLVED: My language selection was on “undetermined”. This excluded all the posts and users who had selected “english”. I was playing around with the settings and DELETED ALL language preferences. That allowed all the posts and comments to appear again.

I don’t see any problems when logged out. In fact I can now see many more posts on lemmy world site.

I logged out and went to Lemmy.world world news. I can now see that MOST of the POSTS on Lemmy.world are HIDDEN when I visit it logged in. So it’s not just the comments but posts as well!

No way really? That’s weird! I can’t see 90% of the comments on almost any other instances, like .world and .ml.

I’ll check.

So I don’t seem to have any issues with posts made on lemmy.ca, my local instance. It’s elsewhere, like Lemmy.world where I can’t see majority of comments. For instance, this post has 40 comments but I only see 5.

yes that’s always been my preferred languages

as far as I know yes

It’s been that way for me ever since I came on Lemmy. I figured bugs or something so I have waited for months but just thought I’d ask.

I use it to get the latest news on NFL and NBA. Otherwise it’s gone.

Watch me delete X faster than you can say “money” Elon.

If it was his actual account, I’m pretty sure the engagement level will be about the same. Or even less LUL.

My comment was incomplete. While tumblr does a great job of stifling the average user’s ability to POST anything “sexy”, they seem to have zero ability to manage porn bots. I believe they are intentionally letting porn pots run free in order to sustain user base. Porn bots jumped again after they brought out new community standards last fall or early this year.

If you’re just a porn consumer, it’s fine. If you want to post porn and you know how to evade tumblr’s detection schemes, it’s great for you.

By the way, Matt Mullenweg has a poll going on if he should step down LUL! https://www.tumblr.com/mattmullenwegceo/722564072820883456/should-i-step-down-as-head-of-tumblr-i-will-abide

Porn is back yes but they are still pretty strict. If they catch you posting porn, you’re banned. If your post has a nipple poking up on a shirt, that post gets banned. If the clothes are too tight, that post gets banned. If you post too many posts that are banned per above criteria, your account is banned.

If Tumblr doesn’t go too extreme in any of these directions, I can accept federation with them. My main gripe with interacting with corporations is that they likely want to dictate the rules of the Fediverse.

So I can tell you Tumblr’s policies are a copy of Instagram. It is even more conservative than gram. It doesn’t want any nudity or porn or even bikini pictures. Sees a nip through a shirt, gets shadow banned. They outright ban users for it. But their bots can’t handle porn bots. So average casual user/blogger will banned while porn bots proliferate.

They have recently allowed more porn. But are actively discouraging sexy pics and erotic literature.

Good! Reddit mods have too much power. They act like little gods.
