Noticed I got banned by the admins from lemmy.world shower thoughts yesterday. The admins have an interesting reason though.

Banned
roguetrick from the community Showerthoughts
reason: This account is currently sending large amounts of unusual activities to Lemmy.World. This community ban is an attempt to mitigiate the issue without blocking kbin.social entirely. The issue needs to be addressed on kbin.social prior to us being able to lift this community ban.

Oh, so that must be why quite a few of the magazines I follow more consistently started appearing empty. Thanks for addressing it, op!

for a magazine to show up on lemmy, a logged-in user needs to visit it first. afterwards, to ensure that new content is published to lemmy instances, someone from that instance needs to subscribe to the magazine. this needs to happen on every instance as far as i know. this is one of the reasons services like https://lemmy-federate.com/ or https://browse.feddit.de/ exist.

The magazines I follow, they worked before, so I don't think this would apply.

I got this ban when I took shower every 1 msec.

Gotta stay clean.

Oof, that sucks, especially since a good chunk of my subs are to lemmy.world instances. I hope this gets sorted out soon.

I have now been banned from [email protected] :( I haven't attempted to post or comment today anywhere except now. I've only liked posts today, so that narrows down the actions required to trigger the problem. I liked 4 posts over the last 24 hours in that community.

Hope that helps someone narrow down replication steps for the problem.

it is indeed mostly like related activities we're seeing

Thanks for the work in keeping us federated with you guys.

I realize that a magazine I made isn't available through lemmy.world and lemmy.ml and some communities from there aren't available here. Does someone know why?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Normally if nobody from an instance has subscribed it doesn't show up in searches from that instance. You have to manually type the exact url and subscribe that way. Once one person has done it, it will show up.

I tried, but it doesn't work. Is this something that will change in the future?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I've had it take up to a week for a community to show up after I've searched for it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

To newly federate a magazine with Lemmy, search for it using the syntax [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) in Lemmy's built-in search. This worked for me instantly when I just tested it on lemm.ee, after confirming that it 404s before doing it.

Looks like they're doing a lot of dam plugging right now, I think we may get defederated temporarily if this keeps up

Well, now @PugJesus @ivanafterall and @tjhart85 got community bans so at least I'm in good company.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Looks like it's affecting at least a dozen people now.
