Then 99% of those were created on Lemmy.world,

The instance I’m a part of has had issues federating with Lemmy.world for a lot of months now and it sucks because that’s where a large part of the community congregated and so it’s where a lot of content exists.

Thanks for sharing that! That’s a really good explanation for what’s causing it. I’d heard a few different parts to why it’s happening but that post makes it really understandable.

This is something I've criticized also before. It's very bad for the Lemmy network to be so centralized, even if the intentions may have been good from the beginning.

Now, if Lemmy.world decides to not federate with your instance, you are on your own.
