Sunshine@lemmy.ca just posted asking why he couldn't see any posts on the !ukraine@sopuli.xyz community.

I cannot, myself, see any posts in that community when viewing it in the instance, and I don't see post deletions in the instance modlog, if I'm reading it aright.

Wanted to post this to give folks a heads up, in case there's something wrong on the instance.

EDIT: False alarm; looks like it was due to me and a few other folks not noticing that the community had been NSFW-flagged. Sorry for any time wasted!

~~It appears that lemmy.today has blocked the community.~~

Disregard, see comment below. Lemmy.today instance admins marked the community NSFW.

I think that it's likely okay -- sorry if I worried folks. @Despair@lemmy.world just noticed that the community had been flagged NSFW:

Looking at archive.org snapshots, I don't think that it was back on October 7, and I don't think that users without an account can see NSFW posts, so that'd explain why I can't see them browsing sopuli.xyz directly.

EDIT: I'd guess that you can't see the community via lemmy.today for the same reason: because you're trying to browse lemmy.today without an account, so you can't disable the NSFW filter, so you can't see the community on that server.

Yeah, that's it. I have the NSFW filter disabled. If I log out of lemmy.today, the community shows up devoid of posts there as well; logged in, it shows it.

On my instance I had to click a "are you 18+" message before anything showed up. I assume that community chose to set a NSFW flag and due to the nature of lemmy features, it got borked on some other instances.

The community was running fine this morning.

But then seemingly went down the moment the us election ballots began being counted.

The community is fine. I was getting complaints that (what I thought was benign) drone footage was NSFW and autoplaying in /All.

I'm going to discuss with other mods about setting a NSFW guideline and where we should draw the line because I think the NSFW community flag is too penalizing.
