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.

        They updated to a release candidate for better cpu performance, maybe the performance is a result of not doing everything 😂

          I was pretty surprised to see them use a release candidate for a production instance. But, what do I know

            We were actually one of the last servers to upgrade to 0.18.1 RC. And now we are on the release version. I’m not sure about the federation issues but I thought it was due to lemmy.world and lemmy.ml being overloaded, and not a problem coming from the sh.itjust.works side.
