In my experience, the data on there is significantly outdated/incorrect. The easy way to check is the domain reverse lookup- pick any instance (e.g. sopuli.xyz) and enter it into the reverse lookup. Then compare that to the official published list at sopuli.xyz/instances.
As of right now, FBA lists 9, while the official list is 15. The lists are significantly different as well, with each having multiple entries that are not on the other.
I have no idea how it works under the hood, but I guess there is some caching given how fast results are retrieved.
