It's documented here:
By default users on an instance will be able to talk with communities/users on all other instances. This only changes if the instance admin puts hosts in the allowed list or disables federation.
If you add instances to the blocked list then users will be able to talk with all other instances, except those on the blocked list
Ideally I'd want something that I just feed a config file, a sqlite db file, tell it to "run", and then it spits-out the uptime for each site
Shiit, it would be much easier for me to write it out to a CSV than to a damn markdown table. Thanks for the great suggestion :)
Edit: @QuestioningEspecialy@kbin.social the table is now available as a spreadsheet
I don't know why nobody mentions RedReader. It's so much better than Infinity or all those closed-source pieces of shit that I wouldn't touch with a 10m stick.
I think at the top, just above the "Recommended" add:

After you create an account, you can find communites across all instances using <a href="https://browse.feddit.de/">Feddit's Lemmy Community Browser</a>

oh shit I wish I knew that existed before XD
thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to this ticket:
I'm literally just asking the instance's API how many users it has:
Check the users_active_month field. How your instance calculates that is a question for the lemmy devs ;D
I think the description would be too long and clutter the table. I'd be down for descriptions on-hover, but I'd have to switch platforms (from GitHub markdown) for that afaik.
You can also get the country from this list. I don't know how they do it (maybe IP lookup)
