Why can't I see this post on lemmy.ml?

4 hours ago by taco_shale032 to c/fediverse

I'm subscribed to !selfhosted@lemmy.world, yet I never saw this post show up. I can't find it with a direct search on lemmy.ml either but the instance is listed here.

Am I misunderstanding how federation works? Or is there a reason why this post is not available on lemmy.ml?

Looks like OP is banned by .ml

Which isn't uncommon and says nothing about OP.

.ml just bans people for stupid shit, you likely can't see any of their posts, or a lot of other people's.

The only solution is not having an account over there.

Didn't .World defederate from .ml?

OP can you see any .world communities or posts?

The person who made this post is from .ml and made it on .world....

So no, it's a pretty safe bet they haven't defederated.

But .ml banned the person who's post this OP can't see, that's the reason why they can't see that one specific post. It's any post by an account banned by .ml.

Anywhere on the fediverse, that's why .ml bans so many people that never comment on .ml

They don't want their users exposed to certain things. And this is a way for them to control what a .ml user sees even on other instances.
