/instances url of a server shows both linked and blocked instances for a particular node. For example: https://lemmy.world/instances shows them for lemmy.world, https://beehaw.org/instances for beehaw.

Hey, cheers for this. I asked someone earlier in a post how to see what instances were shown and blocked. Is this published for all sites? Is there a way it can be hidden? Or is that the way it's built into the software? 👍

It's build into Lemmy. However, since it's open source, in practice anyone running a node could disable it, or even just block the url on a reverse proxy or something.
