I was wondering if anyone knows how to figure out which instances are blocking this one? I know beehaw is as it was quite public, but now we are blocked by 2 and I am just curious which instance is the second one. I have looked on the awesome-lemmy-instances page and also tried Federation Observer, The Federation Info and FediDB but none of them seem to have this information.

Edit: Lemmymap seems like the easiest option, as you can't specifically search for an instance. It seems like https://news.cosocial.ca/instances is the other instance that has blocked us! Thank you bdonvr for mentioning this.

Edit2: It should be noted that this is a very small instance as mentioned by PriorProject, and is nothing to be worried about.

Here is the post on Beehaw announcing the defederation from sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world

Tldr; there is a lack of moderating tools for this platform and given the community that Beehaw wants to create they cannot federate with large open-regestration instances. A few bad actors on these two instances were causing too much moderation hassle so they decided to defederate. They also wish for more granular federation controls akin to Mastodon, to avoid the nuclear option of defederation. At the time they also only had 4 moderators for the entire instance (people can't create their own communities)

Since then they have gotten more mods, and TheDude (our instance admin) has reached out to beehaw and they are currently collaborating which will likely lead to refederation (more can be found in this post on Beehaw)

Edit: I had some issues making this reply, so if you see this pop up more than once i sincerely apologize.
