A couple of times I’ve tried making posts and got an error of “Lemmy: blocked URL”. As the first time it happened was with a post with multiple links, I didn’t know which site was the problem.

The second time with just one link, “Oh, it’s Blogspot.” (IIRC, a completely different blog, and on a different /c.)

  • How can I find out which URLs are blocked, so as to not waste my time trying to post them?
  • Who is it blocking them?
    • individual communities?
    • the instance of the community?
    • all Lemmy everywhere all at once?
  • I guess I’m out of the loop, why is Blogspot blocked?

    The blacklist is not limited to URLs. The blocklist can pretty much contain anything as regex is allowed.

    1. You can’t.
    2. The admins of the instance
    3. Your instance. Though iirc the instance of the community will also block the URL/word if it is in the blacklist, but of course, this will be done silently.
