@lemmy.worldSo I was hungry and bored and a little drunk and decided to make some homemade macaroni and cheese. I found this old leather-bound book that looked like a cookbook, so I opened it and followed a recipe. Turns out it was like the Necronomicon or something and I summoned a demon. He’s sitting on my couch right now being a dick, watching Netflix and drinking my beer. He won't leave and says he's going to take my soul unless I make him the world's best mac and cheese. I have a box of crappy dollar store instant mac in the pantry. What can I do to make it better? I don't have any crazy ingredients like fancy cheeses or truffles. Help.

My question is not about defederating from Exploding Heads. I support that well-documented decision by the admins.
However I have noticed the Blocked Instances list at https://lemmy.world/instances growing, and I was wondering if and where the admins are announcing new blocks. (I thought https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld but there doesn't appear to be consistency there.)
Specifically I was curious about Lemmit.Online which is now blocked. I searched c/lemmyworld and c/general for announcements or discussions about that instance being blocked, but found nothing.
I think I understand the admins' justification (though I don't agree with it) but would like to know why the "nuclear option" of defederation was chosen.
I believe (but don't know since there was no announcement) that it was a reaction to Lemmit.Online communities appearing too frequently at the top of "All" + "Hot."
Lemmit.Online exists solely to copy posts from requested subreddits. I've found it really helpful to monitor all my small population subreddits, where there is not yet a viable Lemmy community (not just where someone started a community but a useful one with active members and equivalent posts.) In most cases I'm happy with the links being shared, and don't need to click through to Reddit for the discussions.
Since Lemmit.Online communities are just copies of subreddit posts, though, I do understand folks not wanting to see them at the top of "All." But doesn't almost everyone move to "Subscribed" pretty quickly? Or can't it be a teaching moment to understand how to block a community as an individual user if you don't want to see a Lemmit.Online community in "All?" I also think the admins have the ability to block individual communities, so if it's a matter of specific noisy Lemmit.Online communities with established Lemmy equivalents then why not block only those communities rather than the entire instance?
I mean, I don't like meme posts. I ignore them if browsing "All" and I don't subscribe to those communities. If I really, really dislike seeing them in "All" then I have the choice to block those communities. Problem solved for me without removing the ability for anyone in the instance who does like them to see them.
But Lemmy.World defederating Lemmit.Online removes the ability for those of us who found those communities useful to make our own choice. I'd like to better understand the admins' decision to defederate the entire instance, and if we users have the option to appeal (or at least discuss) the decision.
tl;dr
Are there any Synology users who might be able to write up step-by-step instructions for installing Lemmy (maybe using Lemmy-Easy-Deploy) and Wefwef on a Synology DS412+ with Docker and Portainer?
Bonus points for configuration instructions using non-standard ports and DuckDNS dynamic DNS.

In case it helps anyone else, here's a little bookmarklet I created using ChatGPT which performs the chore of searching your chosen Lemmy instance for the names of subreddits to which you're subscribed.
(Modify instance
to your chosen Lemmy instance.)
javascript:(function(){
if (window.location.href !== "https://www.reddit.com/subreddits") {
alert("You must be on the reddit.com/subreddits page.");
return;
} else {
var instance = "lemmy.world";
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
if (links[i].href.indexOf('+') !== -1) {
var url = links[i].href;
var parameters = url.split('+');
var newUrl = '';
for (var j = 1; j < parameters.length; j++) {
newUrl += 'https://' + instance + '/search/q/' + parameters[j] + '/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1\n';
}
navigator.clipboard.writeText(newUrl).then(function() {
alert("Copy operation successful! Paste results at openallurls.com (or other multiple URL opening service.)");
}, function() {
alert("Copy operation unsuccessful!");
});
break;
}
}
}
})();
I got the idea from this bookmarklet which copies your Lemmy subscriptions if you decide to change instances.
I think it could be improved by providing links to something like https://lemmyverse.net/communities to search instead, but I couldn't figure out how to pass the subreddit name parameter in the Url.
