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, lemmy.ml blocks most porn/nsfw/r34 instances. I personally like it that way.
I mainly sort posts by “all” and simply blocking NSFW tags hides some posts that aren’t full-blown porn but just involve mature topics. So it’s better than using an instance that doesn’t defederate and turning off NSFW posts, at least for me.
mander.xyz is pretty open to most instances afaik, check it out if interested.
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.
i can see my user but no feed in profile i can see questions from diff lemmy instance users but not from lemmy.ml also i did not recieve dm from lemmynsfw.com profile although i was able to put the asklemmy post in the bar and able to get it but there was no comment and after writing a comment it does not reflected on ml instance . seems like i will have to create 2 more accounts on every decentralised platfrom
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 🤣
Depending on which app you use (I know Voyager and Mlem support it) you can add a “guest” account to some servers that doesn’t need any login. That’s how I browse world since I don’t have an account there
No, but you can create an account on an instance that federated both of them.
