Comment on Any idea on when the API with Lemmyverse will work again?

  This being the default answer for all issues kinda stops prevents any discussion of any issue that might be unrelated.

  The API problem is that you do (ignore the ampersand issue for a moment):
  curl ‘https://lemmy.world/api/v3/community/list?type_=Local&sort=Old&limit=1&page=250010&show_nsfw=true’ | jq .
  and it will return a response for a page of Communities it can’t possibly have. It’s a never-ending list that can’t be indexed.

  The thing, it returns without issue - there’s no connectivity problems that DDOS attacks would cause.

    Are any other instances affected?

      No. Just .world. Every other instance returns an empty array when the end of the list of Communities is reached. We’d know if they didn’t, because they’d break web crawlers too.

        How peculiar. Could they be running a custom Lemmy build?

      Why are you guessing, when I literally just gave you a link to verify that the API responds?

  Indeed, and the situation (fingers crossed) seems to be quite stable now, hence the question
