Maybe take this to the instance admin? You're on the wrong instance here.
The ban was initiated by lemmy.world, how is this the wrong instance?
Weird, they can ban other instances communities from showing up?
Yes, that's what defederation is all about.
~~Shit, sorry for all the drama if this is just me misunderstanding the federation system. I wish there was more information provided in the modlog than just "admin", like at least stating the origin server that took action. I just assumed since those communities had been "supported" (or at least tolerated) by db0 for so long they were on good terms and in communication with each other - didn't even cross my mind.~~
EDIT: db0/dbzer0 had nothing to do with this ban, it was performed by a LW admin.
No, you're not misunderstanding anything. The communities were banned by lemmy.world, specifically @[email protected], one of the new admins. At a guess he probably took action on his own without realising the consequences.
What? I can't access it from lemmy.world. How would db0 have anything to do with that?
Those communities are hosted by db0 as their home instance - can't federate their content out to others if the origin doesn't exist (as I understand the mechanics anyway).
No, they are banned here. I cannot access either from this instance at all.
