Each instance has certain instances linked or blocked. This means you might never see content from a different instance if it’s not linked or if it’s blocked.

you can view what instance is allowed by clicking on your local “instances”

I recommend making a general account and an edgy account for when you want to talk about controversial topics

i dont vote anything because it’s stupid

definitely not fear and hunger

voat’s been dead for years. it was a great place to troll the losers there though.

not enough porn

i am too ;c

you google it :V

I’m sure it’s possible, maybe ask on support?

Simply block it.

There is!

Click Communities, and from there you can sort Local (Communities that originate from your instance, for you it’s lemmy.world!), or All, which includes most communities every public instance (like how I’m commenting to you from beehaw.org!)

From there, simply subscribe to what communities you like, even if they come from a different instance.

Here’s a link for you to investigate.

Yeah but I wouldn’t know what the fuck to do, and I’d feel a bit cringy with what kind of roleplaying I need to do.

I’m assuming the OP said something about creating your own instance? Not sure–Anyways, the beauty of how Lemmy is laid out is that you can find an instance for programming, here’s one for you.

There are also these available instances, just click on them, hit subscribe and it should be available to you.

Big in subs, yeah, but most of their active users barely scraped a couple hundred.

Yeah of course.

though i dunno a thing about tabletops except the DnD movie

where is the porn communities anyway? where are my hot anime babes?

Nah it’ll be forgotten

yeah but people are addicted and will forget. most users here will eventually return to reddit, that’s just how it works.

I predict Reddit backing out, lowering the API price to something realistic, and then everyone forgets what happened, like every other time something like this has happened.

Just got to keep that momentum going.

They help shut down bigoted and hateful communities. Sounds good.

Buuut they’re biased. Anything that’s pro-ccp, pro-stalin, or even pro-holodomor is politely ignored by them. Likewise, they also operate racist subreddits towards white ethnic groups and encourage self-harm and suicide for vulnerable men.

There are also rumours of AHS posting ToS-violating content on subs they dislike, such as CP. Of course these don’t have much substance aside from the fact that AHS previously trolled The_Donald by “leaking” a false document to The_Donald mod-team (meaning posting false content on other subs is something they have done).
