Like the post title says. I though I read that each Instance keeps a public list of who its defederated with. Is this true?
yes look at https://instance[.]tld/instances you’ll see blocklist
I’ve seen a count of each instance and how many they are blocking, as well as how many they are blocked by. For instance, Beehaw blocks a ton of instances (visible from that link), but I can no longer find a way to see which instances block content that comes from Beehaw.
Is there a way to see that list? Or is the first one good enough for all intents and purposes?
Maybe you’re thinking of this site.
Am I doing something wrong, or does neither Beehaw.org nor Lemmy.world have any blocks or are being blocked?
Enter a Domain: This one is to search how many other instances blocked the one you’re searching.
Reverse search: This one is to search for how many instances the one you searched has blocked. I see Beehaw.org has 391 blocked and lemmy.world has 50 blocked.
I did just that, it just returns a blank page with the text "instances that block lemmy.world / instances that are blocked by lemmy.world " for me.
This is what I’m getting when I do the reverse search on “beehaw.org”.
It looks like you can also just straight up pass the instance name into the web address.
“https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=beehaw.org”
Note: I’m on PC.
Thanks to your picture I found the problem, my phone auto makes the first letter big and that makes it not work. Some instances though have blocked Lemmy.ml with a big L so that one shows some instances, so that also throw me off a bit, as it seemingly worked for that one.
Thank you for your help.
“Instances” link at the very bottom of the page. Or in our case, https://lemmy.world/instances
I see, thank you!
