Can we see somewhere what instances block us?

      Blocking instances for having open registration is some of the weirder shit I have heard recently.

      Edit: now that we have a bot problem I’m now against open registration and federating with instances with open registration lol

        Instances have different purposes and for beehaw, maintaining community standards is more important to them then wider federation, they also explicitly said it was a bandwidth issue for their mod team, that as things settle and tools get better for modding within Lemmy itself they’ll reassess. I don’t find that particulary unusual but I’m also a Mastadon user and that’s very common over there

        Exactly what I was thinking. For Lemmy being an alternative to Reddit, yet instances have closed registrations. That is a way to get people not to sign up.

      Looks like this is the only ‘big’ instance blocking us so far. It feels weird, but I guess this is something we’ll need to get used to
