    The great thing about Lemmy is that it’s all decentralized. Lemmy.ml mods and admins can’t do anything about other instances

      Technically correct, much like you can’t do anything about what your neighbour does in their own home.

      However, what sh.itjust.works and lemmy.ml can do is block ‘bad server’ communication.

      They can also enforce rules on their own ‘home’ as it were.

        The Lemmy devs cannot unfed a server. They can only block it from the lemmy.ml instance

        Would users in the unfederated instance still be able to access other content and instances in the fediverse?

          If a server becomes blocked by some other server(s), then neither can communicate or access the resources of the other, but they can still access resources from the other parts of the fediverse. If a server is unfederated from every other, then they operate as their own separate little island by themselves.

          Users from the banned instance would not see the communities or content from the instance that blocked them. (As I understand this all thing ^^)

            what if they browse All at another instance. That instance could have pulled lemmy.ml data.
