Thursday Daily Question Thread (Newbie Friendly) - August 3, 2023 - WetShaving

This is the place to ask beginner and simple questions. Some examples include: * Soap, scent, or gear recommendations * Favorite scents, bases, etc * Where to buy certain items * Identification of a razor you just bought * Troubleshooting shaving issues such as cuts, poor lather, and technique Please note these are examples and any questions for the sub should be posted here.

Did you notice that one of my SOTD posts wasn’t visible by some people? @[email protected] did! I changed some language settings for the instance, which should clear up any future “hidden” posts.

I believe the problem was that I had enabled a couple of languages for the instance – “undetermined”, and “english”. My profile had the same two languages selected. When I made my post, I must have selected “English” as the language, which was allowed per the instances settings. DJ likely didn’t have “English” as a selected language for his account, and therefor it wasn’t shown.

That’s my guess, anyway.

So, the settings are now set to “undetermined” as the only language. When anyone makes a post, there should be no options in the “language” dropdown, and all posts should be visible so long as their profile has the default “undetermined” selected.

It’s odd. It seems to be that as long a I have “undetermined” set for me, I should see messages in every language.

Anyway, it now works, so that’s good

Thanks for the info!
