Shadowbanning is not a thing here to our knowledge.
It's always a bad feeling when you thought something was wrong with the server and you have NO IDEA you were banned from the entire website without any kind of confirmation, but can somehow still have access to it as if you're logged off.
If anyone suspects anything, they can test it out by messaging me, I don't bite. Give a marco and get a polo. I'm tempted to ask, can those who don't know anything is up really be blamed if they re-register (considering it's evasion)?
So it's unknowing evasion.
That's what I'm wondering, if the burden is then put on the evader.
I thought Lemmy was open source? So we would definitely know if shadowbanning was a thing?
Besides that, anyone who runs their own instance would definitely know about shadow banning if it were an option, yeah?
Yes, unless the power to do it is reserved for those at the very top of the hierarchy.
If that came out it seems like it would kill the idea of federated servers running lemmy
Lemmy doesnβt show page views.
You asked a tricky question in 2 small communities so I wouldnβt expect a flood of responses.
Do you see the content of these communities when logged out (ex: incognito mode on your browser) or through another instance / the home instance of that community?
One possibility is that the instance you're on "deleted" the remote community, and it won't sync anymore until restored.
We had to do this with a couple of unmoderated communities filled with spam, with an unresponsive instance admin. It was that or defederate completely from that instance, which I'd rather not do.
You need to be sure your instance in federated with the instance that you are engaging with and visa versa. It is always listed on the ../instances page. So your host is:
Lemmy.world also has strange federation effects on smaller communities that could lead to this
if you're not community banned you might still be instance banned on the community instance, which wouldn't show up in your local instances modlog if the ban happened on a <0.19.4 instance. if the methods pointed out by other comments here fail I suggest you visit the instance of the community and check the site modlog there, searching for your user.
i suspect you're referring to your post to a lemmy.ml community and you have indeed been instance banned there for a limited amount of time.
Search your username in the instance modlogs.
