Is this really limited to lemmy.world or is it a general problem with lemmy? If this also happens on other instances, then it should be reported on GitHub.
I am not getting this behavior on lemm.ee or lemmy.ml
To quote OP. I also tried it on feddit.nl (which is running 0.18.3), which returns an empty array, as you'd expect. On lemmy-world, the result you get for page 250000 is the same result you get for page 1 (the Fediverse community)
any updates on when this will be fixed?
it's exclusive problem to lemmy.world's DDOS prevention attempts as far as I know, so no idea.
oh yikes. well who knows when we will be able to get lemmy.world back on lemmyverse then. shame.
I'm able to reproduce it on lemmy.ml or lemm.ee so it must be a bug introduced on lemmy v0.18.4.
