I just realized there are several people who I follow whose posts haven’t been showing up on Ivory even though I know they’re actively posting.

I know this problem is Ivory-specific because I can see them just fine on other apps.

Two of those people are @Talia_christine and @donmelton

One thing I just noticed is that both are on mstdn.social, so I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it?

@ivory, I understand why you wouldn’t pre-load posts from a newly-loaded profile on a different server, but I should at least be able to see them once I’m following them, right? Is there a setting or something else I’m missing here? I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of good stuff and interesting people due to lack of visibility.

@Alice @Talia_christine Yikes! Sorry that you're having this problem. TC and I don't want you to miss out on any of our boosty goodness. Or our regular posts either!

I'm looking through this thread now and unfortunately I have nothing useful to add in terms of fixes or even theories as to why it's happening. 😬🤷‍♀️

Does it happen when you use another client instead of @ivory? For example, the Web browser UI?

@donmelton @Talia_christine @ivory

I can see your posts in other apps and in my web browser, so that’s how I know it’s related to Ivory, but @bwbeach said they use Ivory and can see your posts, so I’m not sure.

@Bam mentioned a setting in Ivory to only show the first time something is boosted, which I do have enabled, but that doesn’t explain why I can’t even see your own posts.

I’m hoping it’s just a setting in Ivory, but I’ve checked to ensure you’re not muted and boosts are enabled, so I’m not sure what else could be causing this.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that @ivory can steer me in the right direction; otherwise, I’ll probably just go back to using the web browser, but I only view Mastodon from my phone so I’m not looking forward to that.

@Alice @donmelton @Talia_christine @ivory @bwbeach @Bam I believe Ivory can do its own app-based filtering, distinct from anything set on the web that other apps may be honouring - have you checked for anything unexpected being set under this tab?

Ah, good thought, but I don’t have anything set up there.

I did turn off the option to hide duplicate boosts just in case that was causing trouble. I found it interesting because Don’s pinned post appeared, but nothing else. So strange.

Sorry for dragging everyone into this and for the ridiculous amount of notifications you’re receiving, but I’d like to stick with ivory as long as I can see the posts I care about.

Please let me know if you’d like to be moved to BCC the next time around!

@Alice @donmelton @Talia_christine @ivory @bwbeach @Bam Oh that’s interesting - I actually see exactly the same thing as you for Don in Ivory, one pinned post only, but Mona displays everything…

@Alice @donmelton @Talia_christine @ivory @bwbeach @Bam I wonder if it’s just because Ivory separates out boosts and posts in the user’s profile to different tabs; Don’s prolific boosting maybe means his direct posts drop out of eg. a set number of fetched posts that they grab for that display, whereas in Mona they just get fetched opportunistically when I scroll down far enough in the feed?

@dmcgk @Alice @donmelton @Talia_christine @ivory @bwbeach @Bam FWIW, I see "No Posts Found" for both Don's Posts and Boosts.
