I just checked the community on Mlem then I found the posts weren’t showing and the community wasn’t appearing in the default Lemmy UI search.

Edit: False alarm the community was set to NSFW.

Edit 2: Donald Trump seemed to have won a trifecta. This is very disappointing news for Ukraine. Please people of the free world support Ukraine more to fill the void America will leave.

    It looks like something broke on their system. When I try to view the community directly on sopuli.xyz, I don’t see any posts:

    https://sopuli.xyz/c/ukraine

    I see comments up to one hour ago.

    EDIT: Note that there’s also the “War in Ukraine” community at !war@group.lt, but that gets far less traffic.

    EDIT2: I don’t see obvious modlog activity removing posts.

    EDIT3: Hmm. It’s specific to that community. !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz is functional: https://sopuli.xyz/c/steamdeck

    EDIT4: The list of mods on that community has not changed since this archive.org snapshot of the page on October 7, so I don’t think that it’s a case of someone getting mod authority and wiping everything and me just not understanding how to see it in the modlog. Or at least if so, that account is no longer listed as a mod.

    EDIT5: Also posted on that instance’s !main@sopuli.xyz community, which looks like it’s the one for instance discussion; hopefully that may catch someone’s eye.

      @LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz, you’re maybe the heaviest poster there.

      @lisko@sopuli.xyz, you’re a mod.

      @doo@sh.itjust.works, you’re a mod.

      @Burstar@sopuli.xyz, you’re a mod.

      Any of you guys know what’s going on?

        I changed the community to NSFW because people were complaining that drone footage cutting to static was NSFW and displaying in ‘All’.

        Edit: To be clear I do not think this is NSFW and would gladly revert to not-NSFW if admins and community don’t care about the inevitable complaints.

        Also, @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz and @Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz are the instance admins. Pinging to let them know in case there was a compromise of the instance.

          At least, I hope I pinged them. I think that using the @username@instance syntax causes a user to receive a message…

              I hear you! Seems that the community was set as NSFW so it isn’t visible for users who haven’t enabled NSFW content. Due to the community’s content it’s rather obvious why it was set as NSFW. It’s up to the community’s moderators to set the community as SFW if they want so. Even though I’m Sopuli’s admin, I can’t edit communities I don’t also moderate.

        No, I wasn’t suggesting that, but mods can delete posts. I was thinking that maybe someone could have compromised a mod account and wiped all the posts, or been recently granted mod power and abused their position. Probably some people out there who don’t much like that community.
