@otter@lemmy.ca proposed I repost the stickied post I put here onto this community. I did post this about 6 weeks ago, but I have finally isolated the problem.

This is a sort of follow-up from this post and this post. I decided to check the data of all subscribers to television@piefed.social and discovered that about a month ago, probably more like six-weeks - pretty much all lemmy based subscribers were purged from this community. Literally no-one except old subscribers from lemm.ee and beehaw.org (for some reason?) were listed as subscribers as viewed from piefed.social.

According to the count from piefed.social, television@piefed.social has 125 lemmy.world based subscribers.

If you look at it from lemmy.world though, it says 802 local subscribers. That's a massive drop. lemmy.zip I record 95 subscribers. Looking at it from lemmy.zip: 561 local subscribers.

So anyone who is an old subscriber, who may even be receiving updates still - please hit unsubscribe and resubscribe if you have not already.

And additionally the bug completely cut the community off from midwest.social and feddit.nu. If anyone there sees this, and you were subscribed - it's been tethered and your instances are no longer receiving updates. Midwest.social had 10 local followers at the time.
