: I don't agree. I think this page is also useful for instance admins. Being able to look at the feed of an instance gives you good info on if it's worth blocking or not.
: (PS, I hope this is okay, I reformatted the replies in the way it's done on Wikipedia, so it's easier to follow the convo if it gets larger.

: I agree that a How to explore instances page would be good as a separate page, if it shows you how to look at feeds and profile directories of instances. But that's not what this page was about.

:: Ah gotcha. Page was gone by the time I had made my account, so must've misremembered the contents.
:: I can draft up a page on instance moderation tips if that helps? I noticed the [[:Category:Admin_guide]]

:::That sounds like a good idea, though I think exploring instances would also be helpful for people who are interested in joining that instance.

==Restore?==
::::Yes, Paula, I agree with that. You could restore the article, then you and non-admins can see whether we can improve or update what was there before. People want to know about instances when getting an account but also '''when considering moving''' - as those of us on big instances are being encouraged to do.
