Piefed does block some instances out of the box, lemmy.ml is not among them but the admins can unblock them.
Comment on Has Piefed omitted some instances?

Your instance has a handy page that shows which instances are federated and which are not. I don’t believe the Piefed software causes the defederations, that’s handled by the instance admins.
Oddly, dbzr doesn’t result in anything so I’m not sure what that’s about.

Piefed has a built-in blocklist that is controllled by the dev. db0 is on that hardcoded list, after the db0 admin called out the dev for something. So the answer to OP’s question is a resounding “yes, piefed is blocking them” but I think my instance is also on that list. So they won’t be able to see this comment.

Thank you very much for the clarification, I was not aware.

.zip admins do make changes to the code (ex. removed the vote limiter). So they may have gone in and removed or altered the list.

That’s actually surprising, because lots of admins end up lumping the entire anarchist block of instances together.
