I use twitter and I really like the furry art community on there. I also like Mastodon or related ActivityPub services.
Due to recent events lots of people search for alternatives and I feel just very frustrated see all those artists looking for Zucks Threads or Jacks Bluesky when Mastodon is right there, without a chance of a twitter situation ever happening again. They seem to avoid Mastodon like cats avoiding water.
What have we done wrong, and how can we make it better.
What I do is to search a handle on the other instance (e.g. search for @crazy_pony@rubber.social in meow.social’s search box). I think if it shows up there (and is decently up to date), it means the instance hasn’t entirely defederated. I can’t say that this is 100% accurate though, or if it covers other things that can happen.

Thanks
At least in this specific case its no full bock. Your nice suggestion for a test has worked, i also know that people who follow me from there can see my posts and respond
But i dont know in this case, if people who do not follow me can see me, if there is perhaps a kind of shadowbanning active
