Code for people interested https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/admin/routes.py#L373

I commented it out, rebuild the Docker containers and it works now 👍

EDIT: People seem to misunderstand what it does. It prevents it from federating automatically when populating the community search, importing from another instance or from Lemmyverse. It’s not a full block, and you can still add it manually. Not only that, but it’s also already partially removed since I posted this.

    It’s hardcoded in the PieFed source code, so every instance does this by default unless you patch it like I did.

    The combined swearwords + excluded communities list seems to appear at least 3 times in the codebase (not referenced, copied verbatim).

    Let’s just say that it wouldn’t pass my code review if I saw this at work

    EDIT: It has been removed from 2/3 places in the codebase.
