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 completely unrelated to routine federation, and doesn’t prevent anyone subscribing to communities that may have those words in their names.

    99% of commentors here seem to have precluded this as even being remotely a possibility. Sadly, much of what happened on Reddit seems to have followed us here. I suppose it’s just basic human nature.
