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.
I have experienced similar problems which I have posted about here earlier. Nothing has changed with that either. Still no comments showing up and subscription pending still being shown, as is on most other communities from outside instances which I have tried subscribing to. Although comments does show up on those, but I have no idea if it is showing all comments.
It seems very clear that while theoretically a great idea, the whole federation concept just doesn’t work very well in practice yet.
I find it odd that you guys are still having issues. Lemmy is working fine for me, and I’m subscribed to a bunch of communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world
