community not federating (slrpnk.net)

I'm still learning the quirks of federation and the behaviors of communities hosted on different instances, so I apologize if this is something that's been asked repeatedly.

I made a post to a community I am subscribed to at lemmy.ca, from my home instance at slrpnk.net. Public posts on that community (as well as the post that I made) are not showing up from my home instance. My profile page on my home instance does not show any record of the post that I made.

I was only able to find existence of the post that I made by going to lemmy.ca, and then finding the community that I posted to from there.

What community is it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

[email protected]

It is on your profile. Do you have "Undetermined" selected in your language settings?

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

The language settings are set to auto.

I'm using the Photon frontend if it helps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The auto-setting is about what the language the frontend uses, what Blaze meant is the language visibility setting in your profile.

Edit: hmm, I can't actually find that setting in Photon, but what ever you set it in the classic lemmy-ui might still effect visibility on Photon.

I need to add language settings to communities and profiles. I really dislike how lemmy handles this though.

If you change it in lemmy-ui, it will propagate to Photon because it's an account wide setting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, so that confirms my suspicion that is propagates from lemmy-ui, thanks.

I agree that the way this is currently handled in lemmy-ui is really bad, but I am not sure how to do it better either. At the very least "undetermined" should probably always enabled and not possible to accidentally unselect.

I'm wondering too. /u/[email protected] was it the woodworking one?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I believe to ping someone, you need to put an @ symbol before their name instead of /u/. Depending on how you're interacting with Lemmy (web or app) it should provide some means of auto completing the ping.

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

Yes that one

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

Curious, did you get a long from my mention or did I format it wrong?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, I didn't get any notification from your original ping attempt.
