I find it convenient and pretty cool that you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon by tagging the Lemmy community at the bottom of the Mastodon post.

I noticed a little over a month ago, this stopped working for me when I'd post from my fosstodon.org account and tag any community hosted on lemmy.world, and upon inspection, I see that Lemmy.world defederated from fosstodon.org

Threads.net isn't even defederated by lemmy.world, it's under the linked instances list, but fosstodon.org is blocked? What was the reasoning for that?

Lol I'm def not a reposting bot (I know, something a bot would say). I just accidentally screenshotted further down the page than I intended and it left out more recent posts by this admin.

Is this referring to kbin.social, or do all kbin instances work this way?

Ah didn't even notice it at the bottom, good catch!

What makes those block lists uncomfortable for you, genuinely curious?

For example, you can see this breakdown for Lemmy.world by going to https://lemmy.world/instances

Torrent search engines that crawl the DHT seem like they'd be the least likely to be taken down, as they don't host any torrent files or run their own trackers, they simply crawl the torrent DHT directly for magnet links.

Here are my two favorite DHT-based torrent search engines:
