Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I have noticed over the last few months my feed(?) has started to act odd.
No matter what I do I don’t see any posts from .world. I checked and mander does not seem to block .world (kinda why I liked this instance) and even weirder is how my feed gets filled with mostly .ml posts with almost no activity no matter how I sort.
This did not happen before and got me thinking, I don’t even know how this works across federated instances.
Does anyone know:
-
How does the sorting work on an instance? Is it all the same no matter what instance it is?
-
Did anything change in the last few months, that would cause all .world (and I assume others) posts to not show?
-
Other then changing instances what can I do to mitigate the weird slanted results?
Mander is not the only instance having this issue. Other instances like lemmy.nz (it was), reddthat also aussie.zone, monyet.cc have similar issue since months ago. I assume the culprit is cogent’s de-peering drama not from lemmy itself.

And those lemmy instances are hosted in APAC.
Also you can check federation issue with this

And if I’m not mistaken our admin has solution regarding the issue a while ago, you may ask Dave.
