You might want to check out https://github.com/amirzaidi/lemmy. I stumbled upon it. Beehaw defederated Lemmy.world (info.) This section on defederating may help you understand that if it’s unclear.
Most of us are also new to the Fediverse, but learning every day. Welcome!
TIL wasps swarm, and now I have a new fear.
According to this site wasps might swarm if their nest is disturbed, at a change of season, or to establish a new colony (like @fubo@lemmy.world said.)
I’ve seen this site suggested in posts like this:
I’m using the spoiler tag because elsewhere I’ve seen this warning about the site:
run by people from kiwifarms (a known bad actor on the fediverse).
I’m unfamiliar with “kiwifarms” but the site currently does has some offensive language at the bottom that’s associated with 4chan, so be warned.
That said, it appears to be the only site currently available to see which instances in the fediverse have blocked/defederated your instance. (The reverse of <instance domain>/instances, which only shows which instances your instance has blocked/defederated.)
There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.
Right now I’m using Liftoff.
