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.
Something weird is definitely going on. I can see my subscribed communities on the web interface, but for some reason the API is returning an empty list. Something must have changed with the API in this release. I also notice a lot of my communities show 0 posts, even the one I created which I know has posts on it. And that’s in the web interface.
Edit: it looks like when fetching subscribed communities, the query param is
type, where it used to betype_. 🥲 the sorting is also different. If your sorting is set to active and there aren’t any active posts, the list will just be empty. Change to new or old and the posts will appear again.
