This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation? (i.imgflip.com)

I joined over there because, funnily enough, that was on of the few instances not blocked by my work. 🤷

Lemmy is big enough to get blocked now?

My forum was blocked at my work, it had roughly 20 active users.

My bank’s employees can’t look at my business’s website because the url contains the string “kill”

Yeah, seems one of the big blacklist services (not sure which one my work uses) has picked up a bunch of Lemmy instances. Lemmy world was one of the few I could get on. Looking to leave though due to stability issues and now already dodging piracy stuff when it's pretty banal right now with Lemmy still being really tiny just seems like world is setting a generic tone early and is not going to be a progressive instance when it might matter. With regards to load sharing. Horseshit on that one. If Lemmy is still such a fragile little prop plane that we are supposed to be shifting our weight on different sides of the aisle to keep in flight, it's already doomed.
