ActivityPub I would say, they show up on https://lemmy.world/instances for instance
Thanks. I just had the main domain blocked, but I think I needed all of the subdomains as well. From the looks of those worker domains, it may be a cat-mouse game trying to keep them blocked.
Thanks for this, we should get a wiki going somewhere for admins
So im a bit confused, if they are federated whats the issue? Is it just a one way street or something?
It’s a one way federation: they only fetch Lemmy’s comment, but don’t allow other instances to get their content.
There are more details in the post linked in the OP
this isn’t entirely true, they do have some comments on lemmy as well, here are some examples:
it seems to be primarily about their communities not federating though i guess?
and either nobody from there posted a post to a lemmy community yet or maybe it doesn’t federate posts currently?
I was talking about the communities indeed.

ugh, i didn’t notice they’re even hiding domains of remote communities for “simplicity” in most cases. that seems so much more dishonest tbh.
Yes, the whole thing is fishy
