They may have defederated world. A few different instances have defederated world because it has open registration, and is one of the primary instances where spam accounts originate.

Fanaticus has a pinned post about the issue, saying they were going to reach out to the lemmy.world admins to see what’s going on. I do think it just requires problem-solving, and isn’t intentional. But I guess I just don’t really know for sure.

Oh, I wonder if it has anything to do with world turning on cloudflare DDOS protection. But yeah, would be odd if there was a deferation involved. Pretty weird situation, hopefully it gets figured out.

They confirmed it wasn’t defederation- it is something to do with CloudFlare.

You can always check what instances someone federates with - there’s an “instances” link on the bottom of every Lemmy homepage.
