I think it’s been hit by a bug where a remote mod (mod from another instance) edits the community, causing something related to the federation break
The community isn’t removed, it still exists at https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] but not https://lemmy.ml/c/piracy although it’s the same instance
This is the correct answer, lots of communities are affected. PS4 is another one.
Still up for me. Personally id like if they merged here. The mod could join the team here and we all benefit from the knowledge sharing. The advantage of having them split is different servers if one goes down.
The strength of federation is precisely no centralisation. It’s very easy to just subscribe to multiple communities on the same topic. Especially for something that gets targeted such as piracy, the more options the better
It’s not just you, I see
404: couldnt_find_community.Still up for me also
Looks like it’s still there for me?
Still there for me too
Direct access or via lemmy world? If I access it directly on lemmy world it’s still there if I directly access it it shows deleted.
Directly here: https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] And from the instance that I’m signed up on which isn’t lemmy.world: [email protected]
I still see it, but the last post was from 8 days ago, and the one previous to that was 13 days ago.
Via lemmy.ml or your instance?
Seems to be deleted on lemmy. Ml
And still cached on other instanced.
So effectively it got removed.
I don’t know enough about how all this works yet to specifically and accurately answer your question.
OPs question had to do with [email protected]. If I go to the communities I’m subscribed to, I can see both Piracy “subs” (I believe called an instance here). So if I click on the link to that other one ([email protected]) I still see older posts. However, when I’m there, the full link is “https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]”.
So I’m assuming you’re saying that means I’m looking at a cached instance? Although, @lemann says below that “The community isn’t removed, it still exists at https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] but not https://lemmy.ml/c/piracy although it’s the same instance.” I can go to that link and see newer active posts, but when I try to subscribe to it (by searching for “[email protected]”) I can’t seem to locate it the way I have others that have been outside my instance.
I don’t plan on going back to Reddit, but this fragmentation is rather frustrating at the moment.
