MODERATORS
I explained this in my post: https://lemmy.world/post/149743
Those communities still exist on this instance, they just aren't synced. You can see new posts from only lemmy.world users. Any posts/comments you make are not shared within the wider lemmyverse.
Effectively that community is a zombie community on this instance. Just unsub from that community, it's useless to you unless behave decides to refederate.
This is where the Lemmy interface could use some work. It should definitely notify users when they are about to post to an instance that is defederated with them and let them know that no other instances will see the post.
The fact that these communities exist to instances that are cutoff from the "true" instance is a horrible UX. There should be a giant "unplugged" overlay signaling that that youre essentially writing to a google doc that is not connected to the internet.
Out of curiosity, are lemmy.world mods still able to moderate these zombie communities?
It seems odd that people would be able to post in them when the people who are supposed to handle the communities just aren't there.
