    “One thing that wasn’t obvious to me is that who servers defederate / limit is sometimes hidden, so it’s hard to suss out what’s going on if you’re considering joining a server, or trying to understand why you can’t see certain posts.”

    Can lemmy users compare defederated info between servers? think it would be informative as well.

      One reason behind it is that people are taking to defederation, simply based on whether or not you yourself defederated some third party.

      See the Threads “grab your pitchfork” posts here on Lemmy for reference… Plenty of “we need a list of people who didn’t defed Threads so we can defederate them
