I just checked the community on Mlem then I found the posts weren’t showing and the community wasn’t appearing in the default Lemmy UI search.
Edit: False alarm the community was set to NSFW.
Edit 2: Donald Trump seemed to have won a trifecta. This is very disappointing news for Ukraine. Please people of the free world support Ukraine more to fill the void America will leave.
EDIT4: The list of mods on that community has not changed since this archive.org snapshot of the page on October 7, so I don't think that it's a case of someone getting mod authority and wiping everything and me just not understanding how to see it in the modlog. Or at least if so, that account is no longer listed as a mod.
EDIT5: Also posted on that instance's !main@sopuli.xyz community, which looks like it's the one for instance discussion; hopefully that may catch someone's eye.
Also, @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz and @Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz are the instance admins. Pinging to let them know in case there was a compromise of the instance.
I hear you! Seems that the community was set as NSFW so it isn't visible for users who haven't enabled NSFW content. Due to the community's content it's rather obvious why it was set as NSFW. It's up to the community's moderators to set the community as SFW if they want so. Even though I'm Sopuli's admin, I can't edit communities I don't also moderate.
No, I wasn't suggesting that, but mods can delete posts. I was thinking that maybe someone could have compromised a mod account and wiped all the posts, or been recently granted mod power and abused their position. Probably some people out there who don't much like that community.
