PieFed blocks !enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world (and a few other communities) by default. At the time of writing this post, you can search for the comm on many PieFed instances and you will not find it.

The block is only by default. The admin can choose to override it. Many big instances have done so, including

  • piefed.social
  • piefed.world
  • piefed.zip

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."

(excerpts from the matrix chat)

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

Not the first time that bug's reared its head either.

Example from here:

'nsfw': post.nsfw if post.nsfw is not None else False

A meme about PieFed half-arsing database migrations might not be funny, but would at least be valid, and less wearisome than OP's post.
