Does not load for me
the nature of federation/decentralization makes it a bit hard to get a central list. some instances publicly list which other instances they blocked and which they federate list. but other than checking each instance one by one, I'm not sure there's a way to know.
You can check for any instance who they have federated with and who they have blocked by navigating to their /instances page. For example for Beehaw: https://beehaw.org/instances
That link is showing lemmy.world as blocked. I'm still new to all this but isn't that a reputable instance?
I was about to comment how I didn't know the reasoning either, but then I checked and it seems there is a stickied post on beehaw.org
Check it out!
Explained here: https://beehaw.org/post/567170
TL;DR: Beehaw does not currently have the resources and/or tools that they feel are necessary to moderate the incoming users from lemmy.world.
Well shit, I guess I gotta leave beehaw because now half my subscriptions are dead now.
kbin.social has access to both beehaw and lemmy.world
Yeah it sucks a bit. Signed, a recent ex-Beehaw-er.
I'm on lemmy.world now and it's all good.
I think you can see how many instances an instance has defederated from here, in the "Bl" column https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances. scroll down to All Lemmy Instances
So far I know just that ~~beehive~~ beehaw.org defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
Why is that?
edit: found why https://beehaw.org/post/567170
Well that sucks. There were a lot of of densely populated communities on beehaw that I enjoyed being a part of. Guess I'll find new ones.
I'm not sure if it's exactly the same thing, but you can click on Instances at the very bottom of the instance, or add "/instances" to the url e.g. https://lemmy.ml/instances to see the list of blocked instances.
