Did anyone else 'lose' a bunch of comments/posts? (beehaw.org)

My profile currently shows that I've made 1 post and 11 comments, which tracks with what I remember doing, but only two of those comments (and no post) seem to be showing up in my profile when I view it. Has anyone else had part of their lemmy history vanish into the ether?

Try choosing English and Undetermined in your user's profile (Settings). If that doesn't work, select all languages in your profile.

EDIT: I had to choose English in order to reply to you in this post, which means that you've probably selected English when posting this. It's best to not select anything regarding the language and just leave it as Undetermined when posting or commenting.

Oooh yeah this was it. I had previously selected a few, but at some point trying to fix it, I clicked instead of ctrl+clicked and it deselected everything else.

Thanks a bunch!

Correct.

It's fine to post as English

Actually, no, people that have other languages selected or deselected Undetermined might not get the feed. Undetermined is a safe bet that everyone will get the feed.
