@technology So I tried creating a Hexbear account but the only thing I can see on it or reply to are my Mastodon posts to Hexbear. I can see the communities but they appear empty (my posts from Mastodon aside) unless I log out. I can also see posts from federated Lemmy instances but not Hexbear ones. It's very annoying and weird. I guess I will keep posting from my Mastodon for now. I've tried different browsers and devices. Anyone encountered something similar?
Appears to be a language issue. The default should be selecting both "English" and "Undetermined" but it's pretty easy in the UI to accidentally clear it and select only "Undetermined".
Yes, this was the issue! Thanks!!
