Are you sure there isn’t a defederation in there? That sounds like the result of a defederation.
It does sound like that. But it’s a sports-based instance. They just talk about football and baseball, mostly. I have no idea why they would have been intentionally defederated.
You can always check what instances someone federates with - there's an "instances" link on the bottom of every Lemmy homepage.
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.
