Yes. The hackers removed many instances from the blocked list which may include the prominent authoritarian-left instance lemmygrad.ml (I can't remember if it was defederated before the hack.). If that was supposed to be defederated before the hack, then the admins still haven't realized so you should contact your admin about it.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
"Authoritarian-left" hmmm....
"Left" in quotes
Oh ok i am dumb. I misread the comment
Lemmy's default sort is "Active" - which I believe is "most recent comment activity"
The classic reddit experience is most like the "Hot" sort option.
Lemmy's other weird default is the "feed" which can be all, local, and following. Lemmy defaults to "local", which is probably not what you want (chronological feed of posts on your home server)
Also highly recommend "blocking" communities if you don't want to see their content. (Mostly important if you browse the "All" or "local" feeds)
I’m on hot though
I wasn't sure how to respond to this at the time.
I'm coming back to report that I just saw this.
I was scrolling All + Hot using Connect on Android and saw this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/57957
Judging by the influx of new comments, I wasn't the only one.
I’ve had groups of ‘old’ posts pop up. 3Y, 2Y 10months. That is 3 or 4 posts all quite old, surround by newer posts. Keep scrolling, another group of old posts. All the comments are less than a day old. Also sorting all by hot. Both Voyager (neé wefwef) and Memmy (for Lemmy).
Not weird communities either, ones like Reddit - the one you posted- and also Zelda, antiwork, metal…
Probably so. That and 196 is a very active community.
What even is 196, why's it so popular and how'd it get its name? I saw so much from it I think I blocked it just because it was drowning out everythink else.
It spun off from the subreddit, which spun off from 195 due to cultural disagreements.
195 came about as a fun little private subreddit between a few friends for their dormitory room. It blew up, things got ugly, and it was eventually shut down, with most people moving to 196 and its sibling subs.
People wanted to replicate 196 on Lemmy, so here we are.
It drowns a lot of things out since one of the rules of the community is that when you visit, you're meant to make at least one post. Since it doesn't have a small user base, that also means a lot of posts, and as it doesn't have a clear direction, besides a generic meme group, it gets anything and everything, which doesn't help matters.
It’s a queer shitposting channel. I love it, but it’s not for everyone.
It split off from 195 when they got invaded by homophobes and have been having a gay old time ever since.
its a vaguely progressive/leftist former shitposting subreddit with a very large lgbtq+ and ally prescence. the only rule is that you have to post before leaving browsing it. a sort of unofficial rule is that every post must have 'rule' in it. As for the name, no clue.
just looked it up, apparently the community used to be r/195 but it got shut down and then it became r/196. i could find signifigantly less about why r/195 had its same, all i found was this one post saying it was someone's apartment number, so essentially its basically random.
What sort settings were you using when viewing All? I've noticed that when using the Hot sort setting, I occasionally get some random years old threads, usually from lemmy.ml.
I can't say for sure, so take this with a grain of salt, but I've just chalked it up to a glitch in the use of the two settings (all/hot) together. Given the description of how the sorting settings are meant to work from the lemmy docs, I think I may be close to right, but I'm not a dev or anything for it so...Yeah.
Hot/Active sort surfacing old posts is a known bug.
Thanks! I honestly wasn't sure & didn't want to mislead anyone with my speculations.
What attack? Sorry if I'm not updated.
