Is it possible to have a list of de-federated instances from Beehive? I think it may be good for transparency, even if I am pretty satisfied about how things are being done here!

Right now I am testing Kagi, which is a paid alternative - from a privacy point of view, it looks great, and the results are good. It also has a lot of additional features that suit me well. No Maps integration though. alternatively, I can recommend SearXNG, but it involves a bit of tinkering.

I found some interesting and popular communities here: https://browse.feddit.de/ In my instance (Beehaw) There is also a list of communities that you can follow: https://beehaw.org/communities

If it is a community-driven decision, up to them of course - some small communities I used to follow that are not very much connected to the rest of reddit itself have no mentions about the blackout, and I suspect most of their members are not even aware of it. If it is the moderators deciding themselves, that is a different issue - it is very interesting to follow the list of open and private subreddits in reddark!

Indeed, if I were the developers I would be threading much more carefully. While it may be true that the letter is not precise enough, access to YouTube implies a relative acceptance of the terms of service of providing the service, and it is not so clear cut as Invidious claims.
