Please add a new section under "for Users" in https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/overview about the lemmy.ca sitewide blocked instances and reasons. Don't need to list the reason for every single blocked instance but can call out the more noteworthy ones that had a discussion.
Why I'm asking for this is I was trying to subscribe to some communities from lemmit.online but was getting a terse and confusing error. It took a bit of digging to see it was intentionally blocked from lemmy.ca and the reason why.

Here's a suggested starting point for contents:
Sitewide Blocked Instances
lemmy.ca blocks instances at a sitewide basis due to them having inappropriate content. The list of blocked instances can be viewed at:

That's good feedback, I agree and I think we can put that information in the guidelines section for lemmy.ca and then link to it from any relevant pages (ex. the threadiverse how to block / report sections). It ties into our new proposed guidelines on our federation policy: https://fedecan.ca/en/guidelines/2-lemmy-ca#federation-policy
For information that is specific to our instance, I prefer to keep it on the other pages so that it is not confusing for non-lemmy.ca users that are reading the guide.
For lemmit.online specifically, we're open to a discussion about federating with it again. If you would like that, could you post on !main@lemmy.ca about it?
