Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

If an instance isn't defederated with another instance, it can talk to it.
You can see which instances an instance defederates with yourself. For lemmy instances, it's at /instances. Just check each end.
So, for example, I'm on lemmy.today. http://lemmy.today/instances doesn't have lemmygrad.ml in its Blocked Instances list (it doesn't defederate from anything, as a matter of policy, in fact).
https://lemmygrad.ml/instances doesn't have lemmy.today in its Blocked Instance, so it isn't defederated on their end either.
Ergo, they can communicate.
Pretty easy to check a pair of Lemmy instances for that.
All that being said, though, if you want to create a series of throwaway accounts to argue with them without them banning you, I think that both you and they are going to be happier if you two stay away from each other. It's just not worth your time, and I think that the chances of there being a productive outcome for you or them isn't very high.
Cheers, you can see what I wrote on asklemmygrad, I made it clear that it was me (in bio and name)
You've been banned from lemmygrad.ml

I wasn't, but okay, keep doing whatever else you're doing
