Buy it for Life

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

When I'm logged in, I can only see four threads in this community. If I go to the community in a private window without being logged in, I can read all the threads. My user is on the same instance, so I should be able to see all threads - this can't be a federation issue. What's going wrong?

You probably have English disabled in your account settings. Make sure you at least have Undetermined and English selected to see the majority of english posts.

This was the solution, thanks!

You probably have the hiding of read posts turned on.

I once had something like this happen in another community, and I realized I had blocked one of the active contributors to the community due to me finding them annoying elsewhere. So that's also a possibility, I guess.

Youre either hiding read posts or your sort is to a timeframe.

I'm having the same issue from a different insurance, thought it was a federation issue but I haven't seen this specific issue on any other community from this instance.
