FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

There used to be this, but most of the instances give errors nowadays:
https://defed.xyz/check?name=Lemmy.ml&software=lemmy
This one seems to work: https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=Lemmy.ml
Oh yeah that's the one
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
Ah, thanks, yeah.
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.
