Has Piefed omitted some instances?

Submitted ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Toasticus@piefed.social⁩ to ⁨[deleted]⁩

Normally, I would see AskLemmy.ml and Piracy.dbzer0 when listed in the all communities. But even trying to find them separately is showing no results. They do still exist, I’m just wondering why it is that they’re not included.

Dbzer0 is silenced on piefed.social. I believe that you should be able to read this comment (I’m not on dbzer0 but my instance is also Silenced 😆), but my occasional post would not appear on your instance.

Piefed the software ≠ your chosen piefed instance

This is obviously configurable and apparently the admin(s) of yourinstance chose to block a few things.

BTW I can barely figure out which comms you’re talking about when you write them like this: AskLemmy.ml and Piracy.dbzer0. Why not just spell them out? !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

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.

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

  Nah it’s functioning as intended, they’re just shitlibs so the intentions are silly 😆

Copying, as you might not be able to see PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@anarchist.nexus response:

Dbzer0 is silenced on the piefed.social instance](https://piefed.social/instances?filters=silenced&search=&page=). I believe that you should (edit: not!) be able to read this comment (I’m not on dbzer0 but my instance is also Silenced 😆, so if you can’t see a dbzer0 user, you can’t see me too).

Piefed .social specifically, you mean?
