Tried to visit the main site, and this popped up?

    I’m not on l.world. Even so I should be able to visit the main instance and see the top posts.

      possible theyve decided to defederate entirely, though i doubt that. I’m able to go to beehaw.org and see their posts just fine

          They don’t have the beefiest server ever, although most lemmy instances don’t. I experienced that 404 page and a 502 page a few times over the last few days, there are just random moments, possibly due to high traffic, where it became inaccessible for a few minutes at a time.

        Old posts and comments will be seen, new ones won’t be seen. One-sided defederation is like two linked servers delinking from one another - you keep the old info but you basically desync and one side can’t see the other if they add new stuff.
        That’s why I have accounts on both kbin and l.world - so that I am able to access more information as it gets updated. It seems the influx of new users is leading to a fracturing and a defederation of the biggest instances, so having one account for all of the threadiverse is not viable.
