Any chance it’s an nsfw community, and your account isn’t set to see that? Some of ours are NSFW by default, to blur the pictures in the general feed, and I’ve had this issue.
That’s what happens to me as well! I did a websearch for “lemmy defederation status” or something like that, and no defederation has happened between the two, in neither direction!
Follow up: lemmy.ml modlog says they removed pc master race community (which I just learn it’s not defederation), meaning we need a different account to access it
No idea why I didn’t think about checking lemmy.ml modlog, so thanks! Problem solved! Now I realize I had misunderstood defederation haha thanks again, guess I’ll make a second account on .world
You’re welcome. I think there should be a better way to communicate a removed or banned community. Maybe like a “removed/banned community for X reason” sign instead of the “community_not_found” error page.
This, but I think equally important is de-duplication of links. Ideally these alternative links to the same content could also be de-duped. All comments should be in one thread. I know what I’m describing is complicated due to communities across servers, but it would really improve lemmy for me.
The only thing I can think of is to somehow subscribe to the modlog. That will have the entire thing.
As for moderation, you aren’t dealing with a huge corporation, you’re dealing with individuals who choose to host their own server and have their own ideas for how it should run. If you don’t like it, the true freedom is that you can start your own instance and communities. But you need to put in the work to convince people to switch.
Seems like the kinda thing that comes down to “because it hasn’t been explicitly told not to yet”. It’s a computer grabbing from an ever changing pool of instances based on parameters, not a person hand picking what they like. Computers aren’t usually aware of social ques or laws…
I don’t have a link, but the lemmy creators (and maintainers of join-lemmy) answered this in a AMA about a month ago. They said they’d prefer the horrible people concentrate in their own instances so we can block them easily rather than have them in our instances. The join lemmy list does not serve as an endorsement, but a catalog of all available instances.

Then they need to stop stonewalling and add user controllable instance blocking. I know that some clients have it but they’ve been rejecting calls to add it to the main lemmy codebase for a long time.
I personally find a lack of downvotes to be annoying and harmful. People don’t go through the trouble of reporting problem content, and it usually leads to poor quality inflammatory content rising to the top.
If you’re new and haven’t really set up yet, explore other instances. You can find one that aligns with what you want out of Lemmy without jumping through hoops.
If you have set up, there are account migration tools for you. They just aren’t perfect yet
There’s not a way to change it on an individual level.
As far as I’m aware / heard, when an instance has it disabled, it doesn’t even store information (or process) downvotes, so even if you could override it (such as by using a third party client) there’d be nothing to view.
I could be wrong though, might be worth trying some of the mobile apps to see if it displays it, just to confirm. For desktop, there’s also Photon.
For anyone else wondering, btw, it’s because lemmy expects all ‘id’ fields to be unique, so it would error if the inner object actually was a copy of the original vote.
I had something similar just happen and I’m pretty confused because I see in the lemmy.world modlog that my post was deleted but I posted here, on .ml… though when I look here I don’t see it either but it’s also not showing up on modlog…
this line was causing it to fail to start, I commented it out and it started working, then I needed to clear my local cookies to load the page for some reason
Lemmy is young. Some of the consequences of a federated and distributed social media are still falling out, and we would be better off if the mods and owners of different federated instances work together - actually communicate - to resolve these issues instead of shutting each other down in a cold war scenario.
Federation NEEDS to happen and be (relatively) consistent in order for this great mess to work. “Hey, did you see that Lemmy post on motorcycles@lemmy.world?” “Nah man, I’m on a different instance than you - it must have been blocked by our mods.” That is NOT going to make a good experience for users, and they’ll give up very quickly.
