I’m not a dev-type but the rumor is Lemmy broke federation somehow with the upgrade to 0.18.

Edit: I just saw my federated content on Mastodon…so I don’t know

I wanted to mention I can’t follow !amateur_radio on mastodon either.

As an early Mastodon user, it went through something like this when overt Nazis (gab, et al) federated and often used misleading names for instances. The result was an immediate reaction in disgust from the vast majority of the fediverse and rampant defederations of hateful instances.

While I blocked the community, I don’t want my little community blocked because the whole instance is defederated. Should that happen I will leave - an advantage of federation.

Edit: I also blocked the 2 posters. There were only 2.
