    Lemmy.cafe is a single admin instance, it is one accident away from joining the graveyard of long-gone instances: https://piefed.social/post/253109

    Also, using the beta version of the software isn’t usually recommended, as this might ironically lead to federation issues

      Right but the problem is that there are no “good” solutions.

      Blocking Lemmy.ml and thereby much of the Russian propaganda can be a significant boon for some.

      That’s a great point about beta software though.

      Though if someone wants to block such, and they don’t want to use single-admin instances such as Lemmy.cafe or quokk.au, or non-Lemmy solutions such as PieFed or Mbin, then their only hope is an app. Which also offers the benefit to not have to migrate to a different instance. Though I don’t know which ones offer that.
