lemmy.org has been defederated due to lack of moderation - Lemmy.World

Hello World, we have just defederated from lemmy.org [http://lemmy.org] due to lack of moderation on their side. This instance has open registrations, seemingly zero abuse prevention on signup, including not requiring emails. This leads to a small number of people constantly creating new disposable accounts for various types of abuse with zero consequences. Their admin is the CEO of an ad company, which surely doesn’t affect incentives. They do virtually zero moderation, allowing all these abusive accounts to rampantly harass other instances. The very rare cases when moderation actually happens is when it affects local communities on that instance, anything else seems to be getting ignored. The admin is also frequently posting to their local communities, but doesn’t at all comment or interact with remote communities in any way. We, as well as other people, including at least one admin of another instance, have attempted to reach out to them about their lack of moderation, but we haven’t received any response at all. At this point there isn’t really anything left besides defederating them, which several other instances have already done as well.

Update: anarchist.nexus has been refederated - Lemmy.World

Due to a (now former) admin of the instance anarchist.nexus calling for a member of our team, as well as anyone else they call a zionist, to be murdered, the instance has been defederated. We’re currently discussing how we will proceed with this situation and whether it will affect lemmy.dbzer0.com [http://lemmy.dbzer0.com], which is mostly run by the same admin team, notably excluding the person who used to be on the anarchist.nexus admin team. We will share further updates once we have them. — Update 2026-04-22 23:25 UTC: anarchist.nexus federation has been reactivated. We are still discussing this matter, but there is currently no point in keeping anarchist.nexus defederated while lemmy.dbzer0.com [http://lemmy.dbzer0.com] is federated.

[Completed] Lemmy.World maintenance in 35 minutes, 13th 22:30-22:45 UTC - Lemmy.World

Hello World, we will be performing an update to Lemmy in about 35 minutes. We expect up to about 15 minutes of downtime for a DB migration to add a new DB index to optimize a query. You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2026-04-13T22%3A30%3A00.000Z [https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2026-04-13T22%3A30%3A00.000Z] Along with this, we will also be deploying a change to test new DB timeouts proposed by Lemmy devs in #6441 [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/6441], which adjust functionality we’ve previously reverted from the most recent Lemmy version. No user-facing changes are expected.

[Resolved] Outbound federation issues - Lemmy.World

Hello World, after updating to 0.19.17 last night we’ve experienced federation issues over the last 24h, where in some cases federation to some other instances was stuck for up to a few hours at a time. We believe to have identified the root cause for this issue and are currently rolling out a patch to revert the likely cause. This issue has been reported on the Lemmy issue tracker here [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6427]. Due to the overall volume of federation data it’ll take some time until other instances will be fully caught up again. We’ll keep monitoring the situation. — edit: forgot to refresh the dashboard, should be caught up on most instances already — update 2026-03-31 8:27 UTC: we’re not seeing the previously logged errors anymore since reverting the suspected patch.
