The OP linked to the function with the ‘enoughmuskspam’ filter in it: it’s here (line 352 if it doesn’t auto-scroll down).

It’s a bug with the latest update that has already been patched. Not sure if piefed.ca has updated their instance in response to it, but this isn’t even completely right as lemmy.ca was still returning results for “piracy” in the search.

“So since a few hours ago, when I deployed v1.6, many communities no longer show up in the search. the private value should be true or false but really old communities have it as null”

“Yes, null should be fixed to true or false. I originally added the private column many months ago, with no default value. So now the data is all over the place.”

OP made some assumptions, got excited and just found a bug.

This post will be deleted in a few hours when this account self-deletes and the lemmy.world admins purge it.

You are not needed to do this. Lemmy is absolutely fine without news-article spam across multiple communities from day 1 accounts. Your activity is actually harming the fediverse by forcing us to come up with innovative ways to throttle new users.

You do not need to flood the feed full of posts.

Moreover, since you self-delete - almost all of your content gets purged. How is this helping?

Mine is that Breaking Bad, The Wire and The Sopranos - often touted as the ‘big three’ TV shows simply hold no interest to me. I recognise that they’re all done very well and probably at the peak of their genre, but I don’t really like crime, gangster and especially police shows.
