I’ve recently started using the Boost for Lemmy app on my phone and it’s amazing. I was using Liftoff before but I’m switching over. However, I’ve noticed an issue. When I browse through communities using Liftoff I see a lot more posts and comments than when I use Boost.
I figured this was an issue with Boost at first, but when I used my computer to edit these screenshots I noticed the same thing happens in my browser!
Opening up https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy I see all the posts that Liftoff shows. Of course I’m not logged in since my account is on Lemmy.ca.
When I log into Lemmy.ca and view the community though: https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] I only see the posts that Boost shows! Many posts are now missing!
I figured this is an issue with Lemmy.ca blocking stuff. But wait! The most recent post (titled “Bug: Hiding all read posts also hides…”) has the URL https://lemmy.world/post/6954944 which, of course, does not allow me to comment on since I’m not logged in. If I search for that post through Lemmy.ca I find the equivalent post with the URL: https://lemmy.ca/post/7377534 which now allows me to comment on it through my Lemmy.ca account.
Does any one know what’s going on here? Clearly Lemmy.ca can “see” all the posts in the BoostForLemmy community on Lemmy.world. Even Liftoff manages to show all of them! So why does my browser and Boost for Lemmy not show everything unless I specifically search it out?
Are you sure you’re sorting the same way when you’re comparing? If searching by new in the web interface and Active in Boost they would look different.
Another alternative is if you used the mute feature to ignore someone in Boost. Mute only affects Boost, Block affects the web interface as well.
