The good thing about Lemmy is that due to its distributed and federated nature, it can’t be fully blocked. You can just use a different instance and see all the same content (assuming no instance blocks between the instances).

Hey at least Lemmy is becoming popular enough for the authorities to block us.

Couldnt you just copy the list of instances lemmy.world or a similarly large instance federates with (its in the footer), or grab a list of Lemmy instances from e.g fedidb.org to block?
I feel that would block most of the network, and doubt there would be much value left in joining whatever unconnected instances left.

Sure, but anyone can just spin up a new instance that federates with the large instances. Also, if that were to happen, Lemmy could be modified to restrict it so that only admins could see that list.
