How to view the list of blocked communities?
Now that I (I think) understand federation I was going to unblock the beehaw communities since I should still be able to vote and comment on them but I can’t find them now.
Anyone has a link on what happened with beehaw?
0In short, the majority of the fediverse was (and probably still is, despite the large influx of redditors?) highly communist in nature, but Beehaw, being predominantly moderated by liberals, were getting so dogpiled for their aggressive anticommunism that they just threw up their hands and started defeferating with any instance that disagreed with them from the left at the drop of a hat. At this point they're probably cut off from 75% or more of the fediverse and I'm sure blissfully ignorant in their little liberal bubble. We're probably not getting them back and to be honest I'm not sure it'd be rewarding to have them back, if their users want proper discourse they can just make an account over here.

You can view federated and blocked instances in /instances like this
You can see that beehaw has a lot of blocked instances, while lemmy.world has only 1.
0Oh, thanks, this is really useful! I didn't realize Beehaw blocked so many. Any clue what the reason is for the one blocked instance from .world?
