We've seen a lot of spam come from lemmy.org and we have therefore defederated from their instance. For the moment they have open registrations which only require filling out a simple captcha to create an account which many people abuse.

The admin is active but rarely takes moderation actions, but I've sent a DM to them with our concerns. We'll see how permanent this is.

Please excuse my ignorance, I'm still barely clear on how everything works, but what instance is lemmy.org? Clicking that link seems to bring up a ton of different instances, so I'm not really understanding what the impact of this is.

If you go in your browser to lemmy.org and choose “local” you can see what you’re missing. It is not much. If you sort by new you will see why the admin made their decision.

Ohhhh, thank you! I don't think I go to any of those instances. I was just a bit curious.

Some users and communities are on lemmy.org and you won't see any new content or be able to talk to anyone from there until we refederate

Any popular ones?

It means that you will not see content from lemmy.org from your account on lemmy.blahaj.zone. If you create an account on another instance that is still federated with lemmy.org, you'll see its content.
