Is Lemmy.ml instance blocked from Lemmy.world? And when will it federate again?

Posting to Lemmy.world from Lemmy.ml results in only Lemmy.ml users being able to see that post, so I think they blocked each other. When do you think they will be federated again?

Many federation things are broken atm. i know of Multiple communitys that are behind hours or Multiple days both on lemmy.world and Kbin the instance owner says their server got tons of recources free so its federation related bugs i guess.

maybe never, this is going to be a thing on and off with the large instances, get on a smaller one with a neutral rep and youll be able to interact with the whole fediverse as long as you don't cross lines.

Lemmy.ml appears to be massively overloaded. Browsing their instance’s website results in network timeout errors. They haven’t applied the same fixes that lemmy.world has yet either. So, it’s not blocked, it’s just that lemmy.ml is currently unable to keep up with things.

You can see the list of blocked instances at /instances.
They are currently not blocked.
- But they are. Posting from Lemmy.ml results in only Lemmy.ml users being able to see it, so they are blocked.
  
  A fix for this was introduced in 0.18 and another one in 0.18.1. Version 0.18.1 is in release client 4 now, and lemmy.world just updated yesterday. Lemmy ml is still on 0.18.0 and doesn't have the 2nd fix yet. There are likely to be many causes to this, but consensus seems to be that federation has drastically improved since world upgraded to 0.18.1rc-4.
  So, what to do? Just be patient. These are growing pains and known issues being tracked by devs and admins across instances. If Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world wanted to defederate, they would do exactly that, instead of some silly shadow-defederation as you're suggesting.
