We're aware. AFAIK, nobody has expressed interest in taking over that community and bringing it back to life.
@TheTechnician27@lemmy.world would you like to volunteer?
That's odd. It seems like your post didn't federate from feddit.org to lemmy.world for some reason. There does not appear to be significant federation lag between the two instances at the moment.
It's visible now. I pasted the feddit.org URL into the search bar on lemmy.world, which forces lemmy.world to fetch the post.

Try using the Photon front end. For adding and removing mods, it is more flexible than the standard lemmy-ui front end.
This has been happening to me and others as well, across multiple Lemmy instances. The common thread seems to be Firefox. I assume something changed in a recent Firefox update?
If anyone figures out the root cause, I would love to hear about it.
The main culprit, @marcus_inferno@lemmy.world, has been banned.
From Lemmy you can see the accounts, but usually not their content (see note below).
@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social
@georgetakei@universeodon.com
Interaction between Lemmy and Mastodon doesn't work well because the two services structure their content differently. Lemmy is community based and Mastodon is user based. Lemmy doesn't have a mechanism to follow an individual user, and Mastodon doesn't have an analog to communities (afaik).
(Note: In the case of these two accounts, some of their toots are visible because they have been pulled into the !tails@lemmon.website community as part of an experiment to bridge Lemmy and Mastodon.)
It's in the "Blocked Instances" section, where it should be.
sh.itjust.works explicitly blocks Threads. They held a vote among the local users: https://sh.itjust.works/post/11308397
It is odd that threads.net appears on our instances page, while the same is not true for other Lemmy instances which have not blocked Threads. Lemmy.world is federated with Threads by default simply because it is not on our instance block list. I do not believe our instance has done anything special to force a link with Threads. I mentioned it in our admin chat and will update this post if I learn anything.
However, even with threads.net listed on our instances page, Threads does not seem to work with Lemmy. I am able to search and view Mastodon user profiles from lemmy.world, but it does not work for any of the Threads test profiles.
Edit: The lemmy.world database has no records for a person on threads.net. Our best guess is that a Threads user tried to interact with lemmy.world. Perhaps the process got far enough for our instance to recognize threads.net and add it to our instances list, but not far enough to create a record of the user in our DB.
Spoiler alert: the drain is just a straight pipe to a bucket below the counter.
I empathize with your situation. I'm in the same boat. Even with hundreds of subscribers, if everyone's lurking then the community gets stale and withers. Becoming a one-person content machine isn't sustainable.
Though on a brighter note, with this post you just gained a subscriber to your community. Browsing through it reminded me of how fun geocaching was. I just dusted off my old geocaching.com account from a decade ago. I'll have to take my kids out and see what we can find!

Done. You are now the mod. Enjoy!
In case you aren't aware, you will not receive reports from that community on your hackertalks account. There is a bug in Lemmy where community reports only federate to mods on the community's home instance. You can work around the problem by creating a lemmy.world account for moderating lemmy.world communities.
