Shit, sorry for all the drama if this is just me misunderstanding the federation system. I wish there was more information provided in the modlog than just “admin”, like at least stating the origin server that took action. I just assumed since those communities had been “supported” (or at least tolerated) by db0 for so long they were on good terms and in communication with each other - didn’t even cross my mind.

Maybe take this to the instance admin? You’re on the wrong instance here.

No, you’re not misunderstanding anything. The communities were banned by lemmy.world, specifically @MrKaplan@lemmy.world, one of the new mods. At a guess he probably took action on his own without realising the consequences.

What? I can’t access it from lemmy.world. How would db0 have anything to do with that?
DABDA@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Those communities are hosted by db0 as their home instance - can’t federate their content out to others if the origin doesn’t exist (as I understand the mechanics anyway).

No, they are banned here. I cannot access either from this instance at all.

The ban was initiated by lemmy.world, how is this the wrong instance?
AlexisFR@jlai.lu 8 months ago
Weird, they can ban other instances communities from showing up?

Yes, that’s what defederation is all about.
