My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".

Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:

Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right
Lemmygrad Exploding Heads
Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world
Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works
Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty

What’s really a problem is whitelisting.

Agreed. Fortunately very few instances rely on that. The only decently big one is hexbear.net, the second biggest both of our instances are barred from has 41 active users and all the others have only a single digit of active users. Not that big of a loss.

I can imagine whitelisting to become more popular as Lemmy user base grows and communities become more suitable for lurkers and non-techies who know nothing about federation.

It's such a contrast seeing blank blocklist after using Beehaw and blahaj honestly. Small instances are so much better tbh. And this tool is great, thanks! I hope we'll figure out how to get a list of blocked communities somehow. This lack of transparency is so annoying.

For real. Small instances ftw. Glad you enjoy my tool. Investigating blocked communities might be a feature for a future upgrade, thanks for the idea.
