Hello everyone,

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, I couldn’t find any other thread about this.

Basically title, I know that the Lemmy.world communities are not listed on Lemmyverse anymore due to some API issues, do you guys have any idea on when it will come back?

    Are any other instances affected?

      No. Just .world. Every other instance returns an empty array when the end of the list of Communities is reached. We’d know if they didn’t, because they’d break web crawlers too.

        How peculiar. Could they be running a custom Lemmy build?

          I think there was a change to the API in a recent release of Lemmy, that .world hasn’t accounted for correctly. I’m guessing because this post has the two most common responses to tech questions about .world: silence from anyone who could actually answer, and the usual “it’ll be them DDOS attacks”.
