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.
Could the subscriber count on https://sh.itjust.works not matching up with the subscriber count shown on https://browse.feddit.de be a related issue?
On https://sh.itjust.works, Memes@lemmy.ml has 1.5k subscribers. But if you check on https://browse.feddit.de, that same community has 26k subscribers.
I could be wrong on this, so somebody please correct me if I am, but I think the subscriber count only reflects users from the instance you’re currently checking.
So this instance has 1.5k users subscribed to !memes@lemmy.ml, whereas https://browse.feddit.de may have 26k of their users subscribed.
I don’t think that’s related though.
You’re correct. I asked this previously and got the answer that it is showing the number of subscribers from this instance.
Ah, interesting! I’ve learned something new today. Thank you! Is there a way to find out how many subscribers are there in total for a specific community?
Use browse.feddit.de or lemmyverse.net/communities. The subscriber numbers shown there should be accurate
