Defederated community? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

In maintaining my Lemmy blocklist, I noticed that I was unable to block the thunder@lemmy.world community, despite it seemingly existing if I look for it on lemmy.world directly.

As it doesn't load when accessed via this instance (lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/thunder@lemmy.world), has it been defederated?

It has been removed on this instance

Is there a way to tell which communities have been removed from an instance in that manner?

The Arctic app automatically removes communities from blocked instances from its integrated Lemmy Explorer list, but seemingly not blocked communities from unblocked instances, unfortunately.

Sorry, i don't know. @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com can you answer?

Although i am curious, why are you trying to block a community that is removed here? Interested to hear your answer.

To maximize the value of my All feed, I preemptively block communities whose posts I don't think I'll find interesting, minimizing how much All feed scrolling I end up needing to do.

While I don't need to block communities that are already instance-blocked, I'd still rather they not clutter the app's Lemmy Explorer feed, hence why I had asked the developer to filter out communities from blocked instances. If it's possible to tell which communities are blocked at the instance level, I'm hoping that the Arctic developer can extend the current filtering to communities blocked at the instance level to de-clutter the Lemmy Explorer list further.

I didn't remove it myself. Can the modlog reveal which mod it was?

[-] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

No, can't see. It might have been removed by accident. Doesn't seem to be harmful. Should we restore it?

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I'll leave the decision and the responsibility to you :P

Out of curiosity why was it removed anyway?

[-] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Beats me. It must have been a mistake i guess, i've restored it now

[-] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I've restored the community. You can block it now.

Blocked it ๐Ÿ‘

Two other communities on the list, one from feddit.rocks and one from lemm.ee, seem to be on the list too given that they're also unblockable, and should probably stay that way given that unlike the thunder one, they seem to target specific Lemmy users.

I guess I'll ask the Arctic developer if there's a way to detect instance-blocked communities to filter those two communities from my list as well.

Also, one of the ones I wasn't going to block seems to also be instance-banned: !linuxmint@lemmy.world. Is there a reason for its (presumed) banning?

[-] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Doesn't seem to have been removed. It was deleted by the creator
