ive noticed several communities being moved off of .ml because of overacting mods shitting their own beds (my fav movies comm being one of them). kinda the whole point of the 'verse. i also noticed a recent sync in-congruence from .ml to .world which indicates some kind of funny business... purposeful or not
the locals at .ml seem to have this notion that theyre too big to fail, which is patently not true considering the tiny size of the fediverse overall.
id recommend users utilize a 'home' instance thats more of an onramp than local-content curation... (https://moist.catsweat.com/ being in this category) they tend to not defederate from any instances so users can easily switch subscriptions when shit goes sideways in the content-heavy servers without making new accounts.
This isn't unique to world or ml. There's some wonky shit going on with federating across Lemmy at the very least, maybe other parts of the fediverse that I don't use. On walledgarden there are at least half a dozen instances that are falling in and out of sync with our communities. No one on either side of the connection seems to have an answer for what caused this behavior or how to correct it. Talking to some other instances, we aren't alone.
The lemmyverse crawler/site has also shown some odd behavior with communities and instances disappearing and reappearing seemingly at random.
I don't think anything malicious is being done by any of the instances or admins in regards to federation delays.
