Do you know why it's blocked by a lot of others? Widely blocked servers are in that state for a reason. The reason might ultimately be "server admin is unable to do moderation," which adds to the moderation and potentially legal burden of the other server admins if they don't defederate that instance.
MMasnick's moderation speedrun article, although targeted at emerald boy, applies equally (mostly) to every new Mastodon instance admin. Unless your instance is locked down to just you. Or you and a couple of close friends.
Oh yes, I know why it's blocked. There is no moderation and a couple nasties interacting with people on other servers early on brought that down on us. It's mostly self policing and block lists these days. Generally a fun group but there's things that come up in the free speech area some people don't want to hear.
No matter, I'm also on another server that's highly technical and federation seems to be working fine.
