Why? Because there are 100 or so moderately active instances with their own url? Or will you expect people who link to the fediverse to use new or obscure instances to indirectly link to things?

Yeah they're not going to have a hard time at all haha

Export a list of largest instances and put them in the firewall QOS, 5 minute job max
