I for one was excited to see you folks' weird ass posting breaching containment on my normal LIB timeline.

But from my home instance feddit.it it seems I can only see your posts to other instances, not any content from Hexbear itself. I can see some comms like CTH but they haven't been updated in weeks.

I'm guessing you guys switched to whitelist federation and stopped sending us new slop. Can we reopen the slop valves please? Having to switch accounts makes my dumb brain tired.

Anyway welcome to the Fediverse!

Have you subscribed from feddit.it? I know in order to see new slop atleast one account must be subscribed from an instance to see a federated comm update

I should be, yes. It shows up as "pending" but AFAIK that's a known bug, I should be subscribed anyway.

Does an instance stop receiving comm updates when there are no more users subscribed to it? I know as soon as one user subs updates start coming in, but it seems we were receiving slop (at least for CTH) until about a week ago when it stopped. Me subbing didn't make the slop start flowing again.
