Asking as there has been a few comments mentioning this with the new !stardewvalley@lemm.ee taking over !stardewvalley@lemmy.ml

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for additional context on those recent events if you are interested

Also, an older post for more context on how lemmy.ml is managed: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417

Curious to hear other thoughts about this, as I’m trying to keep !simracing@lemmy.ml active, but might suggest to move it elsewhere if a lot of people prefer not to interact with lemmy.ml communities

    At least the latter one is just showing which instances the named instance has defederated from, not which instances have defederated from the named instance.

    That’s easy to get by checking /instances on a given instance already.

    The problem is that you’d need some kind of spider that crawls all of the instances to get the reverse of that.

    The former one does seem to show it.

      You are correct, I don’t why they called it reverse, it’s confusing

      Here’s the search I wanted: https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=Lemmy.ml

        Neither of those mention that lemmy.cafe has defederated from lemmy.ml. Hence I tend to agree that they are not reliable, at least in the sense of being comprehensive. Perhaps at one point in the past they were.
