Is there a way to see which instances a Mastodon instance has defederated with? For lemmy instances, for example, you can go to
/instancesto see a list of other connected and blocked instances.On desktop there should be a small "about" link in the bottom left, from which there is a "moderated servers" dropdown menu where you can see defederated servers. I don't see anywhere to view the servers you ARE federated with, but if it's listed at ~~Mastodon's official website~~ (whoops, I actually meant this)it's probably in.
I don't see anything on the official Masto app, but that app is just missing a ton of functionality in general.
iirc, that's all down to what accounts your server's users follow. If any users on server A follow users on server B, and neither A nor B block the other, then A is federated with B.
That's exactly the same as lemmy.
