It should be noted somewhere on the login screen, maybe with an asterisk, that beehaw.org is not fully federated, restricted, however it needs to be termed.

    No one is ever “fully federated”. Even Lemmy.world most likely blocks some spam/nafarious instances. It would be tough to define what fully federated would mean.

    I think the better approach would be a message telling you when you’re trying to engage with an instance that isn’t federated to you.

      Beehaw is currently blocking 387 other instances. Lemmy.world is blocking 1 tiny instance for some reason. Beehaw is blocked by none. Lemmy.world is blocked by 2.
