Hi,

I remember reading that lemmy.world defederated from the exploding heads instance (rightly so imo), but now i’m seeing their posts on my feed.

Did the hack from the other day affect the defederation? is this a bug or something i have to change the settings of?

Thanks.

    So, based on what I’m reading from other posts, can someone please confirm that I’m understanding this correctly?

    During the hack, they removed EH and other instances from the blocked list. During this time, new posts from those communities leaked in. They’re now blocked again, and we aren’t seeing new posts, but the ones that slipped in might appear in our feed occasionally for a few days.

    I’ve been recommending lemmy.world to some friends, some of whom are trans, and I reeeeeeeeally don’t want them to sign up and see some of the posts I bumped into from those instances. Is it possible for an admin to wipe all of the extant posts from an instance?
