In maintaining my Lemmy blocklist, I noticed that I was unable to block the thunder@lemmy.world community, despite it seemingly existing if I look for it on lemmy.world directly.
As it doesn’t load when accessed via this instance (lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/thunder@lemmy.world), has it been defederated?
I’ve restored the community. You can block it now.
Also, one of the ones I wasn’t going to block seems to also be instance-banned: !linuxmint@lemmy.world. Is there a reason for its (presumed) banning?
Doesn’t seem to have been removed. It was deleted by the creator
Blocked it 👍
Two other communities on the list, one from feddit.rocks and one from lemm.ee, seem to be on the list too given that they’re also unblockable, and should probably stay that way given that unlike the thunder one, they seem to target specific Lemmy users.
I guess I’ll ask the Arctic developer if there’s a way to detect instance-blocked communities to filter those two communities from my list as well.
