Was this community banned on lemmy.world? I was trying to access some bookmarked posts and comments but they weren't there. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As stated in the title, I went to some posts and comments that I had bookmarked for some media that I was trying to download. This was on my lemmy.world account. Turns out they're gone. Doing some digging and found out this community was still up but wasn't visible on lemmy.world. what happend?

so you can defederate from a single community? or they have defederated from the entire instance?

admins banned a community, not one but three. this one, piracy at .ml and another one at db0. it's likely that lw admins defederated from entire instance too

e: i think it happened in the past but now db0 is federated with lw

Can confirm, it's only the piracy communities that are blocked, and we are still otherwise federated with lw. It's not really a big problem as far as we are concerned, they can pick and choose whatever communities suit their instance. We will have lost some clicks and visibility from them, but at the end of the day, it's not going to affect our share price lol.

I’m not sure what the semantics are. Maybe you defederate from an instance and block a community? But I’m just guessing. Semantics aside, if someone has an account at lemmy.world and tries to access the piracy community, they will not be successful.
