   This has been merged! Future Mastodon releases will notify you when instance blocks cuts you off from your followers and follows, letting you export a list.

   (Edit: To be clear, this notifies you when *your* instance blocks another instance, and not vice-versa. But having even that is a significant step forward.)

   You can import that list on another server, or re-follow if the block gets undone.

     Hooray! Work is underway - now coming in Mastodon v4.3 - on notifying folks when they're cut off from those they follow and are followed by when instances suspend each other:

     (Edit 2023-11-9: above link updated with early screenshots on what this might look like!)
     (Edit 2024-3-20: merged!)

     I feel this will be a big step forward in helping folks on the fediverse understand what happened, whether they agree or disagree with their instance moderators.
