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.

      I don’t think that’s the reason. The code mentions it filtering out “low-effort” communities so the devs probably didn’t like seeing so many posts from it on their frontpage.

# "low effort" communities

      You’re wrong. Rimu has never expressed any objection to pro-LGBT sentiment and has even done interviews in regards to that. I have seen him ban people for anti-LGBT bigotry. This particular ruleset looks like a copy and paste from the retention rules that piefed.social currently has that doesn’t save data from communities after 6 months. (RImu doesn’t have a high opinion of meme-themed content and believes it to be a drain on server storage).

      I agree all of it should be optional, and I believe it currently is anyway as instance owners can revert this.
