I found one post from 12 hours ago that describes the problem: https://lemmy.ml/post/2650814 - but that’s all I’ve seen. Content is way down on lemmy.ml with nothing coming in from .world
EDIT: seems that lemmy.ml is getting some content delivered to .world, but .world communities seem islands on .ml that only have local new posts/comments.
Why would be 2 biggest instances be defedarating from each other?
This would be a terrible choice. For me it’s enough that some instances are down from time to time.
Where does it say they’ve defedarated?
Seems like the federation is just broken for some reason, maybe load issues on Lemmy.world
The title says that.
Title says content isn’t loading through and is effectively defedarated, not actually defedarated like the admins have made a specific decision to do that.
yha, it said “effectively defedarated” - anyway, I edited out the words entirely so there isn’t any more confusion.
great!
It’s the Wild West out here. Different admins who have never worked together on this scale have to figure out how to work in digital society. It’s kind of like handing a libertarian the reins to government and watching how they slowly realize they have to govern instead of just complaining about those in power. It’s going to be messy, there are going to be blackouts, and at some point they’ll realize they can’t do everything they want and some users will complain that they sold out by blocking this or that.
Just hang on for the ride.
Reins. Handing the reins.
