Generic Threadiverse support

Thanks to @rikudou@lemmings.world's contribution (#28), Lemmy Federate now supports all software types that implements group federation such as PieFed, NodeBB, Guppe 🎉

But unfortunately, not everything is perfect. Since there is no Fediverse standard for verifying whether a user is an admin, I have to register admins manually. I am also considering manually approving instances that are not guaranteed in Fediseer against spam attacks. Please contact me for this.

Note: Lemmy and Mbin works as before.

Top instances of Lemmy

With the addition of Lemmy.ml, the top 25 largest instances on Lemmy now use Lemmy Federate (except slrpnk.net). I think we can now consider that we have fixed the accessibility issue that was the reason I created this tool. Even if we didn't fix it, at least we band-aided it :)

Instance blocking feature

In addition to the allow list, a block list has been added.

• If you allow at least one instance, you will not follow any other instances.
• If you block an instance, you will continue to follow instances other than those you blocked.

Dedicated community

I didn't want to open it before, but now that we are trying to be compatible with more software, I believe a dedicated community could be useful. That's why I created a community here !lemmyfederate@lemy.lol. If I make an update from now on, I'll probably post it there.
