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!
if lemmy.ml blocks lemmynsfw.com and i create a account on lemmynsfw.com , Can i access lemmy.ml content ? including creating post , commenting and voting as this instance is for adult content and they have no reason to block any instance . Hence i will get all lemmy content
No, you will not get all Lemmy content even if lemmynsfw.com doesn’t block lemmy.ml.
See for yourself
You can normally browse lemmy.world instances though, not sure how well you can interact with their users or post.
Edit tip: If you’re new, make 2-3 accounts in instances that match your different interests. If you use a lemmy client app on your phone, you can switch accounts between different instances easily.
