How to determine instances sh.itjust.works is blocked by? (self.main)

I was wondering if anyone knows how to figure out which instances are blocking this one? I know beehaw is as it was quite public, but now we are blocked by 2 and I am just curious which instance is the second one. I have looked on the awesome-lemmy-instances page and also tried Federation Observer, The Federation Info and FediDB but none of them seem to have this information.

Edit: Lemmymap seems like the easiest option, as you can't specifically search for an instance. It seems like https://news.cosocial.ca/instances is the other instance that has blocked us! Thank you bdonvr for mentioning this.

Edit2: It should be noted that this is a very small instance as mentioned by PriorProject, and is nothing to be worried about.

This website is specifically for that: https://fba.ryona.agency

lemm.ee is federated with everyone :D

Edit: just noticed my links only showed which instances the subject has blocked. The main page allows you to do it both ways:

Strangely, I can't see news.cosocial.ca in there. However, it does show that discuss.online and pawb.social have also defederated from sh.itjust.works.

Congratulations, you have found a tool made by Kiwi Farms - here is a Wikipedia article on the website

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't even notice the kiwi farms git link at the bottom of the site.

The links you posted are the inverse of what I was looking, although they do support the inverse here. Regardless that is a very nice website! I find it interesting that it shows different instances blocking sh.itjust.works than what I found on Lemmy map.

edit: I cannot write well today, I do apologize

No worries hah I realised and edited mine also.

Yeah, the different instances is strange. It shows nothing for news.cosocial.ca, which has me wondering if it's aware of lemm.ee - maybe it isn't, and that's why I can't see it defederated from anything. Perhaps it's just something to do with how often the feds are updated, news.cosocial.ca seems pretty small and could be new.

I warn you, that the existence of this tool made some Mastodon instances hide their block lists (or simply display the lists on e.g. static site)

I think it's remarkably silly to hide. like why not be open about who you block/don't block? unless you're ashamed of your actions?
