How to surface what is federated and what is blocked? (fedia.io)

Is there any way to see what instances we on fedia.io are federated with, and what instances we've blocked?

I posted this in the microblog but maybe this is a better place to ask. I'm trying to follow a botsin.space account and it's not working, also that account can't follow a magazine (just goes to "follow requested"), so I think it's blocked?

It seems that there are federation issues between fedia.io and other instance types. My mastodon account is claiming that it is waiting on my request to follow my account here to be approved. There doesn't appear to be any way to do that approval on fedia.io. Hopefully it's on @jerry TODO list to investigate (along with the problem with media URLs missing "/media). My mastodon instance (ohai.social) doesn't actively block fedia.io and it knows about it so I guess the problem is on this end. I've posted here using hashtags that my other accounts should see but nothing appears.

When I try to search for a bot on mastodon.social that I operate fedia.io doesn't find it at all but it can find non bot accounts on mastodon.social so maybe a bot account is being "blocked".

You are a genius! If I untick "this is a bot account" then everything works as it should. @jerry is this something which can be fixed?
