It’s the “silently” part that’s the issue. I acknowledge that lemmy.cafe is entitled to defederate from whatever servers the administration pleases, but lemmy.ml still houses some of the largest communities in the Lemmyverse on some topics, and a heads-up that it was being blocked would have been appreciated.
I want to thank you for blocking lemmy.ml. I specifically tried to find an instance that blocks lemmy.ml, and it turns out Lemmy Cafe is the only one. Will you consider blocking hexbear too?
Hexbear and lemmygrad have been blocked since pretty much the very beginning. Lemmy exposes linked and blocked instances at the /instances endpoint.
Welcome aboard!
Thanks but I found hexbear on the linked instances list, and not on the blocked list:![](https://lemmy.cafe/pictrs/image/4dec1abf-32e2-42c5-a320-4b9546b78469.webp)
Thanks for the heads up! I must’ve removed it by accident. Fixed!
