Sometimes getting "The local client has never seen posts from this account." incorrectly
What's the problem you want solved?
Sometimes I see a post in e.g. Popular that I then visit, can read, vote and comment on. But the author's name is just their public key and they don't have a profile picture. When I click to visit their profile the page says "The local client has never seen posts from this account.", like this:
One suspicious thing is that with the two accounts I just saw this happen with seem to be using Planetary and Feedless. I don't know if that means those clients are weird in some way or if it just means they're likely to be on the outer edge of my social graph.
Is there a solution you'd like to recommend?
Find out what's wrong and fix it so that I can see their posts in their profile page
The feedless author for reference is @EMwZTgx0EkumExHg5D5jNiS5Hoi9AfZ6za56bgHy/V4=.ed25519
Can you run ssb messagesByType <id> for one of the accounts you're having this problem with? That message should appear when you don't have posts from that person.
that command didn't work for me (even on my own account) but running ssb-server createUserStream --id @asdf... found posts for my own account but not for the account I was testing. really weird. what are these ghost posts haha. i see that oasis (flotilla) has ssb-ooo, could it be some spooky bug around that?
and to confirm I'm not crazy I tried running ssb-server get %post... and that found one of the spooky posts, so it's there somewhere!
