Febiblock is a useful thing that happens on other Fediverse social in which instance admins share their worries about users or instances. After a discussion where everyone shares their knowledge about the problem, admins decide if that instace/user must be blocked or not.

It could be very useful for the recent bot spamming. Since maybe the spam could be repeated on multiple instances, by sharing the emails/usernames those bots were registering with, admins could block them more easily.

Guide: One way you can take advantage of federation is by opening a different instance, like ds9.lemmy.ml, and browsing it. If you see an interesting community, post or user that you want to interact with, just copy its URL and paste it into the search of your own instance. Your instance will connect to the other one (assuming the allowlist/blocklist allows it), and directly display the remote content to you, so that you can follow a community or comment on a post. Here are some examples of working searches:

- [!main@lemmy.ml](/c/main@lemmy.ml) (Community)
- @nutomic@lemmy.ml (User)
- https://lemmy.ml/c/programming (Community)  
- https://lemmy.ml/u/nutomic (User)
- https://lemmy.ml/post/123 (Post)
- https://lemmy.ml/comment/321 (Comment)

You can see the list of linked instances by following the "Instances" link at the bottom of any Lemmy page.

Since NSFW is not allowed on this instance, we should block that instance to avoid seeing their posts here. What do you think?
