tbh this is a general issue with the fediverse. Some instances aren’t transparent about who is being blocked and why. It made it a whole lot more difficult for me to figure out what instance I should go for.
Aren’t all blocked instances listed in the “Instances” button at the bottom of every Lemmy page? You won’t get a detailed explanation, but you can see what you can’t see at least.
Yeah the detailed explanation would be very helpful. It’s nice that Lemmy has the page at least (and I learned something new today), though that is just Lemmy and the fediverse is much bigger than that. I believe Misskey and Pleroma share it similarly to Lemmy, while Mastodon allows admins to hide it from the public (which, as I said, will act as a barrier to those wanting to sign up)

It doesn’t help with the reasoning, but defed.xyz has been a lot easier to use than scrolling through the /instances endpoints
