AFAIK Piefed also basically hardcoded a block of their instances (this is what I read from one lemmy.ml user who took a look at the code, take that with a grain of salt). Well, I say hardcoded, but it’s python - you can easily change any section of the code, especially one that’s just a list of URLs. But it’s still the default behavior.
It’s a switch that’s presented to the admins as they go through the instance setup process. It’s defaulted to on, but it’s not like it’s even hidden in a setting menu somewhere

It’s default defederated, but any server can remove them. That’s all.
