If you query the lemmy API, you get a ton of fun JSON data:
One thing interesting that I saw was huge lists of other federated servers in the federated_instances dictionary.
There’s three arrays in there:
- linked
- allowed
- blocked
What do each of these mean, and what impact does it have on the server when they’re set to some list of hosts or if they’re null?
Interesting. So I guess that functionality is disabled when the admin has a non-null list set for
allowedYes, that is the point of a strict allow-list.
