Is there a way to see a list of all of the registered users on an instance?

Can we restrict registered usernames (e.g. not allow slur-filled usernames)?

Are all Lemmy instances openly federated unless they are on the block list?

    As an aside, this question was prompted because we noticed someone had registered to our instance with the name of “hitlerschild” and posted, through federation, to the post “Do you read books?” posted on asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

    Given this is a potential abuse vector, it might be wise to also globally restrict federated posting on new accounts from any instance for some period of time such as 24-72 hours.
