I mod a community here, and for the last three days posts made to that community have not been showing up outside of this instance. Specifically, I have an account on Lemmy World, and I can’t see any recent posts from the community I mod on that account.
Also, I follow several communities from other instances including lemmy.world and lemmy.ml and none of the content for those communities have updated here in the last three days, though when I check them from accounts I have with other instances, they all show up fine.
I have checked all of this on my mobile browser, my desktop browser, and Jerboa.
Does anyone know what’s going on? Does this have anything to do with the steps @TheDude@sh.itjust.works has been taking to combat bots? This is really problematic, it’s like we’ve been shadow defederated.
Edit: Seriously, why would someone downvote this post?
Edit 2: I’m not sure if this is related or not, but for the first time, I’m not able to respond to a Kbin users comment. That happened in this post.
Ok thanks, I thought I didn’t understand some crucial point about federation or something.
The instance is behaving weird for some days and I wasn’t sure if it might be connect for lemmy. When I switch instances in the settings I get way more posts than when I’m on sh.itjust.works, which is weird when they are federated, right?
Also I get a lot of errors, like “comment can’t be found” when I’m trying to answer a thread or comment from another instance. I even had one situation where the comment I was trying to answer completely changed in the answer window, almost if there was some fuckup with the database.
I also can’t see nsfw posts and the defaults in the settings don’t have an effect anymore, so I always get “hot”, but I set it to “top”. I’m not sure if these bugs come from connect or the instance.
