Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoI don’t know of an easy way to get a list of which instances have defederated with a given instance.
there’s a website out there showing exactly this,but for the life of me I can’t rememeber the URL >_<

There used to be this, but most of the instances give errors nowadays:
defed.xyz/check?name=Lemmy.ml&software=lemmy
This one seems to work: fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=Lemmy.ml

Oh yeah that’s the one

At least the latter one is just showing which instances the named instance has defederated from, not which instances have defederated from the named instance.
That’s easy to get by checking /instances on a given instance already.
The problem is that you’d need some kind of spider that crawls all of the instances to get the reverse of that.
The former one does seem to show it.

It does, it is reverse search.
What you are talking about is the first search on that tool, this is the last one.

Neither of those mention that lemmy.cafe has defederated from lemmy.ml. Hence I tend to agree that they are not reliable, at least in the sense of being comprehensive. Perhaps at one point in the past they were.

Ah, thanks, yeah. And given that that lists a lot more instances than does the defed.xyz site, my guess is that defed.xyz is incomplete.
