I don't see the two posts that I know that are here from Jerboa. Any idea why, and is this the same for other people?
Edit: I see it with my lemmy.ml account
Edit2: Don't see anything on the web interface either
Replying with a different account with a different language setting to see if it helps:
This is most likely because of language settings, and I have to look into it I guess. Lemmy language is such a strange thing – this Lemmy instance has had “undefined” as the only option for a long time. I changed it last night to include English as well…
Try checking your account settings and make sure English is selected. This is the default for new registrations (I think), but older registrations like us old timers have to manually enable it.

This I see - I'll check later
You should be able to see everything now. I ran a database command to enable English for everyone.
👍
Everything !ooking good!
Raccoon shows 3 comments in the whole thread in the card preview but I can only see your comment here and it has a ton of "error loading comments. Try again?"-messages in the last few days. I don't know WTF is going on with Lemmy atm...
I replied to Porkbutts and maybe this will help for you too -- check the language settings under your account. English should be selected. If it's not, that might make some things not show up. I've never had a good grasp on why the language thing is the way it is with Lemmy, but hopefully that helps.
New accounts have English enabled by default, but I don't think it was retroactive to older accounts.

Thank you very much for the explanation and the link to our webview version - turns out I had to access my full profile settings from my Firefox browser there. I was able to select "English" and also "Deutsch" (= german, my native tongue) together with the standard "Undetermined". Unfortunately it couldn't be done from my current app, but it worked pretty conveniently on my phone browser. Android phone with A 15 and the latest Firefox version for anyone wondering...
Nice, yeah I've tested with my acount and it's definitely a language thing. I actually found out how to enable it on everyone's accounts using a database command, so problem solved for everybody.
