Maybe something that is not understood by new lemmings, at least me, is that when we join communities in other instances we may find ourselves blocked from accessing them (without creating another account) in the future.

A reasonable PSA seems to be to keep in mind the ‘philosophy’ of other instances before joining general interest communities such as News, Technology, Gaming, etc…

As posted by @maltfield@lemmy.ml at https://lemmy.ml/post/1243402 , there are some instances that seem to have an easy trigger when blocking others:

    huh, I didn’t know lemmy also federated with mastodon. i guess posts from there show up like a regular post from a lemmy instance would? As opposed to kbin which I think has a separate tab in the ui for microblogging

    anywho, i’m curious to know what the majority of defeds were for? like was it extremist stuff, heavily unmoderated instance, or something else

    edit: appears from perusing the link above its mostly looks like reasonable defeds, though some of them are so small that it’s questionable if they would ever interact with the instance
