We have blocked a number of Japanese instances media due to some forms of loli content being legal in Japan but illegal elsewhere. Given our server is located outside of Japan we took a pro-active stance on blocking media as a "just in case" moment. This does not mean you cannot interact with these instances, simply their media will not be cached or shown on our instance.
Some instances we have chosen to remove from our federated timeline. You can still follow accounts on these instances and if you follow a user on one of the instances that does not appear on our federated timeline, their posts will show in your personal timeline. These are mainly instances that tend to be busy and/or are known for overloading our federated timeline with posts.
Some instances we have chosen to block outright. Most of these instances are full of illegal content, hate speech and more. We've also blocked instances that have run harassment campaigns against others in the past. You will NOT be able to interact with these instances from our instance.
