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!
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!

Apparently we’re moving to piefed 🤞
piefed seems interesting but i can only see lemmy subs and accounts
Fair, that’s all I want anyway. Masto overlap with lemmy is neat but usually pretty janky looking
I can vouch for lemm.ee being nice
