Thanks a lot! I'll see if I can make any improvements on this front, but I can't make any promises.
Update: I've written the code to do that, but I think it would require some overhaul of the UI. For instance, my instance has been blocked only by awful.systems, but by grouping together under "defederated" both those instances that have blocked me, as well as those that are on allow list only, I end up with over 70 instances in the "defederated" block.
I think this makes for a very confusing UI, as I can't know for sure who of these people hates my guts and who simply hasn't heard of me. I think I'll add an additional accordion box for the instances that haven't included you in their whitelist.
To be fair this is the first time I hear about Akkoma, I wasn't even aware of its existence.
Right now the Investigator queries all instances in the awesome-lemmy-instancecs repo, which means it only queries instances running the Lemmy software. I didn't really consider this, but evidently this also cuts off Kbin, Mastodon and so on.
To expand on this I would need a list of all fediverse / threadiverse instances, or at least the onest that federate with Lemmy. I don't know if such a list exists out there.
Noted, adding a forced .toLowerCase(). I'm implementing all of the feedback I've received thus far right now.
Oh didn't know about that. It doesn't look too accurate though. My instance was defederated by some guy and it isn't showing. Anyway thank you, glad you like it!
The greatest of honours, thank you.
Uh yeah that is true. This was a one afternoon project, so I kinda threw the frontend together without thinking too much of it. I guess truncating the protocol instead of relying on the users doing it makes sense.
Oh interesting. Now that you pointed it out I think I'm only checking instances' blocklists, not whether they are white list only. But I should fix that, thank you for reporting it.
Oh I forgot about this community. Thank you for spreading the word.
First off: rule 1, not a political compass. Don't bitch if you get double digits downvotes for violating the literal first rule.
Also, sorry I didn't reply pronto to your comment on Exploding Heads, my bad on that, I was sleeping.
While our only rule is "no illegal stuff" and hate speech isn't illegal, none of us would feel comfortable hosting communities specifically designed to focus on hating other groups. That's not the kind of space we want to build.
If it were just about dank memes they would probably be fine, but as I said on EH we aren't a right wing instance same as we aren't a left wing one. I would be making the same point if you were asking me to open communities about tankie bullshit.
What we mostly care about is growth and keeping as many bridges with the rest of the Fediverse, hosting any of that would get us immediately defederated from 2/3 of the fediverse.
Best of luck for your self hosting adventure! Great choice, it's well worth it.
@infamousbelgian@waste-of.space @Mane25@feddit.uk both changes have been pushed and deployed, thank you for your feedback.
