Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".

Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:

Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right
Lemmygrad Exploding Heads
Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world
Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works
Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty

That's a fair concern. You can check the data for yourself on the awesome-lemmy-instances repository; alternatively I have made this tool to make the search more interactive and user friendly: defed.xyz.

Short answer to your question is: 410 is a lot. They are the second instance for number of defeds, only beaten by feddit.dk. Most big instances tend to have between 30 and 50 blocks, with the notable exception of sh.itjust.works which has only 5.

To give credit where credit is due, few of the instances blocked by beehaw actually run Lemmy and even fewer are active (2 or more monthly active users). This doesn't change the fact that it's a BIG number.

edit: pinging @[email protected] as this partially answers their question.

We have a large number of blocks too, but that's because we auto sync our blocklist between our instances, so we end up with lots of non Lemmy instances on the list
