Like I said above. Most of the subscriptions that I had as of this morning now are no longer showing up.
Searching for communities I know exist do not show up in search results. Switching to a lemmy.world account lets me search the community and it returns in results.
Checked multiple apps, same results.
Currently using Memmy and I’d deleted and reinstalled it, and when I was re-adding sh.itjust.works I noticed it now shows this instance no longer allows user created communities. I’m assuming that was probably due to the bot accounts spam creating communities earlier this week. Could this be why I can only see a very small number of communities now? Or is it unrelated?
Could it be related to the update that just went out?
Or was there some defederation that just happened?
Edit: formatting
Edit 2: as of several minutes ago, instances now show up in my subscriptions list, and I am now able to search for instances in Memmy, Mlem, and Thunder. Wefwef has been working since yesterday. Liftoff still shows a null value. I have not updated any apps yet, tho Memmy and Mlem do show updates now, so I guess I’ll pull them.
Edit 3: still seems to be working post update.
I think it’s an incompatibility with 0.18.1. If I switch to an account on an 0.18.0 instance they show up.
Edit: searching communities also doesn’t work it seems
Your probably right.
