A post from 2 months ago which explained the context: https://lemmy.world/post/20694710

I just had a look, nothing has changed, the website is still using Lemmy’s content to pretend to be active

    I’m unfamiliar with Clubsall. Is it pulling them via federation or fetching via API? Would defederating work? I appear to have already defederated, likely in response to your earlier post, but not sure if that does anything. And that only stops them from pulling content from my instance, not what I posted to any other.

      ActivityPub I would say, they show up on https://lemmy.world/instances for instance

      api.clubsall.com
      clubsall-api.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
      clubsall-api.appcafe.workers.dev
      clubsall-api3.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
      clubsall-api2.appcafe.workers.dev
      clubsall-api2.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
      clubsall-api4.renchesterjramos.workers.dev

        Thanks. I just had the main domain blocked, but I think I needed all of the subdomains as well. From the looks of those worker domains, it may be a cat-mouse game trying to keep them blocked.

        So im a bit confused, if they are federated whats the issue? Is it just a one way street or something?

          It’s a one way federation: they only fetch Lemmy’s comment, but don’t allow other instances to get their content.

          There are more details in the post linked in the OP
