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!

      Yeah, things get weird and finicky when one instance defederates from another.

      Feel free to create accounts in other instances that meet your needs, and please include proper punctuation in their application forms xD

      Edit: Sorry for mocking your English, you probably aren’t a native English speaker. Neither am I :P, my English used to be horrendous. It’s still a bit shabby, but gets the job done when I need to convey my thoughts. Try your best to improve!

      Edit edit: You could have simply typed in a hurry, I probably embarrassed myself 🤣
