I’m new to fediverse and lemmy stuff and when I made my account, I didn’t know this but I saw a yt video today which showed that the instance I’ve registered with, can block another instance and I cannot interact with that instance as well. Is that true? That seems like more control over what I see than reddit itself. I don’t want to be controlled by someone else’s ideologies and opinions. And I hope that’s not the case. I’m sorry if I’m misunderstanding something but this is important to me

    Me too. I check (ir-)regularly if any instances got defederated.

    But I think even if it happens, they would inform us. Communication from the admins regarding changes seems very good.

    EDIT: You can check it for yourself over here. It doesn’t show exactly which instances are blocked, but it helps.

    EDIT 2: Better check VLemmy’s instance page directly. Blocked instances should be listed in there, if there will be any. Last link led to outdated information.
