I tried following https://pl.smuglo.li/users/roka (an anti-Semite who posts porn) and got a nondescript error. How can I tell if this is due to a blacklist, and if so, if it's on my instance or theirs?

Hmm... I don't see any antisemitism in there?

In any case, you should contact the admins of your instance, but most probably they have blocked that instance, as it appears on blocklists for being a free speech zone.

https://pl.smuglo.li/notice/5986711 is pretty vicious antisemitism. Apparently I have succeeded in following this person now though. I'll see if I end up seeing their posts.

Update: I'm seeing them fave my posts.
