lemmit.online is currently allowed on sh.itjust.works but blocked on lemmy.ca so I looked into it a bit deeper and found there are other differences between the list of sitewide blocked instances for each server.

I'm bringing this to your attention as a low priority background task request to review the differences and see whether the instance in question should be blocked on both sites or allowed for each since they are both fedecan sites.

Here are some stats about the blocked instances:

90 instances are blocked on lemmy.ca
100 instances are blocked on sh.itjust.works
29 blocked instances are common between lemmy.ca and sh.itjust.works
61 instances are blocked only for lemmy.ca but not on sh.itjust.works
71 instances are blocked only for sh.itjust.works but not on lemmy.ca

I'll post in some comments to this post the list of instances blocked on only one of the two fedecan owned lemmy servers and the shell commands I used to gather the data.

My pleasure.

I looked into fediseer and am happy to see it also offers a documented REST API. I compared the blocked and censured list for sh.itjust.works and created this post requesting SJW to to review their mismatches: https://lemmy.ca/post/69562789

FYI - here's current counts of blocked instances and reported censure to fediseer for the top 10 lemmy servers:
