I'm the mod of Japanese Metal. For a few days now, the community appears empty to me, both on Liftoff and my browser on my desktop.
Edit: it's fine if I view it on my lemm.ee account, but that's not optimal.
What might be the cause, and how do I fix it? Anyone with a similar problem?
I'd check if undetermined is still enabled, as many people don't select a language when posting and if you've deselected it, you won't be able to see posts that don't have a chosen language
Don't browse by Hot, that filter is broken. Use top day, top 6 hours, and/or New. None of them are perfect but you can quickly view most of the content if you switch between them. They will fix the Hot and Active filters eventually but for now it's a bit DIY.
