I’m new to Lemmy and previously had an account on another instance (can’t recall which one), where I could see NSFW communities like those dedicated to adult content. However, after joining Lemmy.ml, I’ve noticed I can’t find or interact with those types of communities.
Can a Lemmy instance block its users from accessing specific communities or even entire instances that host such content ?
If so, is there a way to connect to those communities while staying on Lemmy.ml, or would I need to join a different instance ?
I’m just trying to understand how federation and instance rules work to make the most of the Fediverse.
Any insights would be super helpful—thanks in advance!
Instances can defederate with other instances, effectively blocking them. For example your instance has blocked lemmynsfw.com and quite a few instances block lemmy.ml. It’s not the best instance to choose if you want to federate with a lot of other instances.
any instance you know ?? i tried beehaw but they did not created a account for me
I like mine, discuss.tchncs.de.
agreed, I don’t feel I’m missing out on anything here, although obviously I don’t know because I don’t have an account on another instance
although if I joined the threadiverse now I would join an instance that also supports following microblogs, i.e. a piefed or mbin instance, probably will do that if I ever have a reason to abandon this account
sh.itjust.works does not require an application
Beehaw is planing to migrate to a different platform and they haven’t been updating their lemmy server software. Maybe not a good idea to use Beehaw.
Theres also lemmy.dbzer0.com - the instance I’m using. Very pro-piracy and seems to be anarchist friendly
or lemmy.world - early on it was like the top 2 biggest, it hosts a lot of the main communities
the last 2 I mentioned do need an application tho
Never forget about SDF!
