Thank you for taking the time to explain this. I know mostly how federation works, and I knew that defederating was unilateral, but I didn’t realize that this list was automated and I guess assumed that if they defederated with us they would be removed from the link list. Seeing this really puts into perspective for me how many of the instances blocked us instead of the other way around, because I only ever see any posts from lemmygrad and lemmy. I know many of these instances are probably dead/inactive but wow.
Haven’t even heard of most of the ones on our block list.
Did lemmy.ca also defederate from us or are they just inactive? I sort of thought I’d start seeing more klanada-centric stuff when they first announced they made that instance.
One more question if you don’t mind, do you guys get notified when an instance in our link list blocks us, or is it just…they’re there one day and gone the next and you’re just as surprised?

According to their instances list: https://lemmy.ca/instances, we are one of three instances they block 🤣 (one is wolfballs, the other is a Breton-language instance of all things to block).

I think it’s the latter. I’ve never got a message or anything.
Documentation is lacking on lemmy so most of the stuff I learn through trial and error x) for example, I have no idea why I’m discovering instances that we should federate with (federation is enabled by a checkbox) but don’t.
kenstroller.fedi.bzh is banned from there because they had a problem with racist trolls signing up for a while and going from there to harass other instances. The content on that instance is in and of itself not racist, just the way signups work there it seems.
EDIT: Also seems the Breton instance follows the logic of other instances somehow in banning Catra, which is weird lmao. Maybe affiliated with some fuckier elements?
