You know, lemmy world has the largest population, so it’s really obvious when things are getting blocked. I finally did a search today on their side. Only one or 2 per day are coming through. I suspected that they regulated their content, but why not just block me? So weird.
Edit: Someone asked for evidence
I don’t think it’s the spam filter after all. I waited at least 10 minutes in between posts today.
I am not one of the .world admins, so I can’t say for certain how their backend is set up. Ten minutes may just be too short, for example my own private instance is set up to flag posts from the same user that occur within 15mins, and above a threshold number block new events from posting (this prevents issues with Activitypub and local internet latency). Activity also propagates relatively slowly through the fediverse, I don’t know if your old posts that were not appearing have since resolved themselves, but if you have not already checked that it may also be a good diagnostic.
If you are concerned about it, you may want to try reaching out to them directly and inquiring about this issue, since they’re the only ones who will be able to answer this question. If I had to bet, you aren’t being singled out and this is indicative of a technical issue that could be resolved. But I don’t know that for sure, and the LW admins may just this petty.
I think it’s kind of you to give them so much credit. World has proven quite a few times to be pretty reddit like. I’ll just let it go like when I was banned. I don’t care about the upvotes or downvotes, but it does bother me how much power they have.
