I remember it was on the list of blocked instances, but now it's not,, and my page was just flooded with content from there - was that intentional?

I initially added it on the blocked instances, but then reverted it after a day because it looked like there is 1 user who subscribed to a lemmygrad.ml community, & nothing had come from it yet (bad or good) so I thought taking a unilateral decision something that shouldn't be done and having a civil discussion around the cost benefit of having them allowed/blocked.

This 1 subscriber triggered the federation.

And this (possibly same user) is the reason why you saw all the "backlog" of posts in All.

While I am not against adding it back to blocked instances if it ends up causing an issue, blocking it without a discussion would be against the openness I want to foster in this community. The only reason I would block an instance would be due to an attack against Reddthat, or the majority of users from that instance cause a problem with us.

Thus here we are, having a discussion about it. (Pinned to Local for everyone to see and discuss)

Until they prove themselves worthy of defederation, I have no problem federating with them

Got it, that's reasonable I guess - as long as it's not causing trouble, might as well give it a chance - thanks for the confirmation!

Thank you for discussing with us :D

Personally, I am going to ignore unless it gets spammy, filter for my self if it does.

When I saw them on the block list it gave me a chuckle. kind of a meme at this point.
