A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

    Unfortunately, the owners of your instance can also choose to block something for you.

      Wait, is some content blocked on some instances and available on others? If that’s true then I still don’t understand lemmy - I thought the content was everywhere.

        Some instances choose to “defederate” other instances, which means that users from one won’t be able to see or intract with content from the other. This is primarily meant to combat instances that create spam or host illegal content, but many instances use it for political purposes.

            The instance I’m on doesn’t seem to block any other instances and I’m not seeing any Nazi or pedo content.

              hello fellow sdf’er :) I specifically chose SDF so I could choose what to block myself, and so far I have just blocked a lot of anime. Anything political I see is leftist.

      Hah, the world admins are desperately trying to keep the instance running, blocking shit isn’t even close to their radar.
