Support question. Locking
Are you using a vpn? I find that I have to turn mine off to post or comment.
What do you mean a read-only feed?
I mean, my feed is mostly read-only stuff. It may just be me, but I’m not getting any videos or anything. It’s mostly just memes and blogs. 🤔 Is there a community or something I’m missing, or is this a server issue? On my old instance, Lemmy.World, I had plenty of videos in my feed.
Ohhhhh. That’s not what read-only means. Read-only means you can’t interact or comment or post. If you aren’t getting any video content you might just not be subscribed to places that are posting videos. If you view the same community from two different instances, does one lack videos while the other doesn’t?
What are some good communities?
That’s an impossible question to answer. Just join anything you see and like.
Read-only feed usually means that you are banned on that community or instance. Can’t see anything in your modlog though. Is it only on a specific community or a different account? Looks like you could post here after all.
I’m not banned; I’m being quite literal. My feed is read-only regarding memes and stuff. I can still post, but I used to get a few vids here and there.
I see. Then I misunderstood, as “read-only” usually refers to something you can’t interact with (in IT at least). Not sure why it would only show you text posts. Might be that your instance is somewhat overloaded and larger content like images and video takes longer to federate?
There is a setting in some instances for turning off seeing images and maybe you clicked it by accident. But i’m guessing you already checked settings thoroughly. There’s also a setting which hides thumbnails, so it might look like you inky have text posts
What kind of comms are you following? So we can make sure you’re not just following really inactive communities
