[SOLVED]: The issue was caused by having "Show read posts" unticked in Settings. This will hide your own posts from you!

I recently made a post^[1]^ to this community about a bug that I experienced and reported.

The post does not appear in the New feed for /c/lemmy_support nor does it appear in my user profile under Posts ^[2]^.

However the post does have 3 replies (from users on multiple different instances) which means that other users can see it across the fediverse, so it's not a federation issue. (Also, my account and the community are both hosted on the same instance - lemmy.ml).

I was not subscribed to /c/lemmy_support at the time I made that post, but I am subscribed now to see if that affects my visibility of this post.

Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding how lemmy works?

Interestingly, if I view my profile while logged out, it does show the posts that I made, but when logged in it shows zero posts in my profile.

I too cannot see my posts. Did you find any fix?

[-] drspod@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

No, my posts are still invisible to me in my profile. My comments show up for me though.

you both probably have 'show read posts' (or something similar) disabled under user settings.

Yes, that was it! Thank you!

I'm not sure how to ping a user on lemmy so I'll reply to your comment: The issue was caused by having "Show read posts" unticked in Settings. This will hide your own posts from you!
