Such as the instances that beehaw filters out? I want my feed filled up with all sorts of diversity.

    Well, how can I get a feed that I myself curate? If this isn’t possible, I don’t see this thing taking off.

        Is there no instance out there that has full freedom so I can put whatever I want in my feed?

          The fact that you’re asking these questions and treading a fine line that could be truth or trolling that I’m having a hard time figuring out signals to be that you might not be a good fit for our community.

          Please be on your best behavior around here. If that’s something you can’t commit to, then this isn’t a good fit

          As you already were told, there has to be, but they will likely (or are already) be blocked by other instances due to not being moderated.

          It’s problematic. Plenty of instances host illegal content, and you don’t want that liability as an instance admin. Other instances do things that abuse the network, like post unmitigated spam.

        but even in mander, I still can’t find specific communities from the blocked instances, like the *redpill community *

        Note: I think redpillers are fucking losers, and that’s why i want to see them in my feed, is funny.

          In that case, it is probably because Mander hasn’t indexed the community yet. For that to happen you have to enter the address of the community (like example.org/c/some_community) in the search field (upper right corner desktop, expanded menu mobile), then it is fetched and you should be able to subscribe there.

      It’s inherent to the architecture of the system; you can spin your own instance and not have to worry. People can still block you however.

      It’s different than traditional social media, and for people looking for something identical to that but open are going to be hard pressed to have something usable.

      The technical aspect of spinning your own server will be prohibitive to a lot of people unfortunately, but there is some documnetation online for that
