Can we see somewhere what instances block us?

feddit.de does (https://feddit.de/instances) due to fmhy being open registration

although not blocked by beehaw despite them also not liking open registration

Blocking instances for having open registration is some of the weirder shit I have heard recently.

Edit: now that we have a bot problem I'm now against open registration and federating with instances with open registration lol

2 questions.

  1. Fmhy.ml is an entirely separate instance from Lemmy.ml right? Lil confused cuz those are the only ones I've seen ending in ml

  2. What instance do we have blocked?

Eta: lemmygrad is the one blocked instance here, personally not gonna miss em.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago
  1. Yes.
  2. Yeah, Lemmygrad is the only one right now for obvious reasons.
[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

yes entirely separate. unless the entire "lemmy.fmhy.ml" is identical its a difference instance

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I read it before seeing this post

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Will fmhy also defederate beehaw?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

No, we'll only block extreme instances.

Instances have different purposes and for beehaw, maintaining community standards is more important to them then wider federation, they also explicitly said it was a bandwidth issue for their mod team, that as things settle and tools get better for modding within Lemmy itself theyโ€™ll reassess. I donโ€™t find that particulary unusual but Iโ€™m also a Mastadon user and thatโ€™s very common over there

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Exactly what I was thinking. For Lemmy being an alternative to Reddit, yet instances have closed registrations. That is a way to get people not to sign up.

Looks like this is the only 'big' instance blocking us so far. It feels weird, but I guess this is something we'll need to get used to

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not anymore, apparently
