It looks like they have some kind of whitelist set up, limiting federation to the big instances, which seems like a strange thing for one of the small instances to do.

I think you just answered your own question. If ponder.cat isn't on their white list, content won't federate.

Yes. The question I'm asking is, why?

That's a question for the admins there, but HC is the spiritual successor of, and ran by the same team as, ExplodingHeads. EH was frequently defederated for homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, racism, conspiracy, brigading, hate speech, and general toxicity.

I'm not sure if they've cleaned up their act since rebranding, but maybe they figured they'd start out with just the big instances since they were frequently de-federated before?

EH was one guy who fucked off to NOSTR because he held free speech higher than the opinion of Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad and the likes who dominated the Lemmyverse in the beginning. I'm pretty sure it's someone else.
