As I learn more about Lemmy and ActivityPub, I learn that the owners of each instance can dramatically shape our entire experience by blocking other instances. For example, beehaw.org blocks hundreds of other instances, while lemmy.world blocks only one. This is visible by scrolling to the bottom of the page on each instance and clicking “Instances”. I’m sure some users would like a very safe, quiet space. I would like a space closer to 2010 Reddit, where very little discussion is off the table. Is there any way to see which instances kbin.social has blocked?

    This is an important question, because the Fediverse is actually full of instance blocks and incompatible Codes of Conduct.
