I'm seeing zero comments come out of Lemmy.world in the past 15 minutes, app users shouldn't have been redirected... and users commenting from other servers should be going to communities homed there. I wonder if they shut off federation. I normally see over 10 comments a minute: https://lemmyadmin.bulletintree.com/query/comments_ap_id_host_prev?output=table&timeperiod=15

It was cleaned up on the home page, but now back to being defaced as of this comment time.
Another user on the site confirmed this:

Looks like this thread is getting mass downvoted by bots btw
Compromised in what way? Can you post proof?
One of their admins (MichelleG) began posting messages about federation with only Threads. The site is redirecting users to Lemonparty (now there's a throwback). Site information has been vandalized with racist slurs.

Just go to lemmy.world and see for yourself. (Or don’t actually, might give you a virus or something idk)

It appears that the deface attack is back in full swing (racial slurs and all the redirects)
Well shit, just set up shop here. Had made a back up account on vlemmy the other day and that's down too. What's going on?

Time to make an alt! Been thinking about switching instances anyway, so this is a nice test. Hope the situation gets resolved soon.
