Defederation Investigator for Lemmy

EDIT 3: All good now, the DNS has done its thing and defed.xyz is fully operational! Once again, thank you all for having checked out my tool, it means a lot to me.

Deploy problems, read more

EDIT 2: I've managed to fix it as well as add some optimization measures. Now it shouldn't ramp up bandwith nearly as fast. The DNS records are still propagating for https://defed.xyz so that might not work, in the meantime you can use the free Netlify domain of https://sunny-quokka-c7bc18.netlify.app

EDIT 1: You guys played too much with my site and ended up consuming this entire month's 100GB limit of free quota, so the site is currently blocked.

This is probably my most succesful project ever, thank you all for checking it out. It will take me some time to find another suitable host and move the project there.

ORIGINAL POST: I couldn't find any tools to check this, so I built one myself.

This is a little site I built: the Defederation Investigator defed.xyz. With it, you can get a comprehensive view of which instances have blocked yours, as well as which ones you are federated with.

The tool is open source and available on GitHub. Hopefully someone will find it useful, enjoy.

  • Doesn't support kbin :(

    • Yeah sorry about that, I couldn't find a list of instances that also included kbin ones. The best I could find was the awesome-lemmy-instances repo, which as the name suggests is strictly Lemmy.

      If you have a list that includes kbin I'll be happy to add support for it.

      • There's this one, but it only includes kbin instances

        • Thank you. Actually that list is a bit hard to interact with, but I've found this API and it works great. I'll be adding kbin support in the next couple days.

        • Update: apparently kbin doesn't support this kind of operation. In other words there's no way of knowing what instances a kbin instance is federated with. I'm sorry but this really isn't my fault. I'll see if I can add it later on, once the kbin devs finish working on this feature.
