Defederation is weird and I don’t fully understand it. For example, the community will still exist on a server after defederation, and people can still post to it (albeit now there’s no moderation, and that’s a separate problem). Maybe feddit is pulling in posts from users outside of dbzer0, linking it to the orphaned comm, and populating the posts that way.
The follow up since OP didn’t post it here yet:
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
But I can’t find it. And the newest post there is 30 days old. Huh?
Feddit and dbzer0 have (mutually?) defederated, so you’ll only see posts there from your own instance users.
Looks like it’s only one way. (You can go to Instances at the footer, and then the blocked tab.)
That doesn’t appear to be the case.
This doesn’t seem like defederation. Something weird is going on.
edit: Never mind, dbzer0 defederated from feddit 7 months ago. But why are some posts and upvotes getting through?

I just checked another sublemmy from dbzer0 on your instance and almost all posts are missing.
Something is fucked with your instance.
The fuck.
