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 @[email protected] 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, [email protected] 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 [email protected], 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.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Thank you! I’ve been wondering about the mismatch in subscriber count for a while. However I’ve noticed there seems to be sync issues where content on for example again [email protected] may have one stream of memes on hot or new, then you switch to a sh.itjust.works account and there’s a completely different feed. Tho after a couple hours the content will show up, so it may be a long delay.

Good to know the subscriber count doesn’t mean a community is missing instance subscribers

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
