SDF communities have stopped updating on Lemmy.ml (self.lemmy_support)

I just noticed that the two communities I moderate on SDF seem to have stopped being updated when I view them from lemmy.ml's page:

amputee@lemmy.sdf.org stopped updating 2 months ago (view from the SDF server here for comparison)
glasses@lemmy.sdf.org stopped updating last month (view from the SDF server here for comparison)

This doesn't seem to concern other SDF communities, e.g. funhole@lemmy.sdf.org.

Anybody knows what the problem might be?

An instance only gets content from other instances coms if someone follows.

You can search com@instance from any instance and see any com.

Federation is passive, users are active.

Ah right gotcha. So like if someone is on an instance where nobody follows a foreign community and browses All, they won't see a new post from that community.

Makes sense.

Thanks!
