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

I couldn't find any tools to check this, so I built one myself.

This is a little site I built: the Defederation Investigator defed.xyz. With it, you can get a comprehensive view of which instances have blocked yours, as well as which ones you are federated with.

The tool is open source and available on GitHub. Hopefully someone will find it useful, enjoy.

You should probably cache results so users aren’tspamming other instances

Never seen exploding-heads before, so I went to their page ... turns out they're leaving lemmy and the fediverse for nostr: https://exploding-heads.com/post/765290

Main reason being all the "censorship" (ie defederation) they've received.

Cool, it seems defederation works as intended!

Oh wow, I just looked up Lemmygrad and was shocked and dissapointed at the results, seeing the Exploding Heads results changed that dissapointment to complete disgust.

Since I was using this to write a little defederation thing on which instances find hexbear so repulsive they had to defederate I noticed the number from exploding-heads go up quite a bit from the 75 to 170 now. I will make it a point to call out two specific instances for being hilariously disgusting feddit.de aka the german federation, and feddit.dk both defederated hexbear but didn't defed the outright nazi instance exploding-heads earlier today, class act from the german and danish mod team.

Also apparently they were aware of it two months ago but didn't chose to act until today which yeah class act from the german admins. https://feddit.de/post/1151473?scrollToComments=true

There's a cheap dark joke in there somewhere about Germans and Nazis

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Enlightened German centrism.

As far as I can see, feddit has always had exploding-heads defedded? https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=feddit.de

Looks like the usage may have gone over Vercel's usage policy (I'm not super familiar with Vercel)? I see the following when trying to bring it up:

402: PAYMENT_REQUIRED 
Code: DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED

That's very useful, thank you @[email protected]

Just to note if copying the URL you have to strip off the https:// or else it won't work (maybe people just don't copy that these days, but I ran in to that problem anyway).

Uh yeah that is true. This was a one afternoon project, so I kinda threw the frontend together without thinking too much of it. I guess truncating the protocol instead of relying on the users doing it makes sense.

Literally the first link on join-lemmy.org has a table showing all instances and it shows both how many instances that instance is blocking "and* how many other instances are blocking that instance

how many instances that instance is blocking "and* how many other instances are blocking that instance

how's that helpful if you don't know which ones
