I moved from Lemmy.ml because I liked the name of Lemmy.world and it ran a newer Lemmy version which meant I could make communities. I moved from Lemmy.world because they defederated from piracy communities they didn't even host (but for some reason still kept the small piracy community they DID host) From thelemmy.club because I couldn't see the Hackintosh community from there (probably defederated) Now I spent some time looking on join-lemmy.org and checked out some instances and this (lemy.lol) instance seemed good, so I chose that.
They started defederating with piracy and trans instances and kept pushing a Discord server so I took off.
Oh and also Beehaw defederated with lemmy.world, and I wanted to see that content.
Second edit because I was reminded lemmy.world is still planning to federate with Threads, which I also wasn't okay with.
So this would mean I wouldn’t see some piracy related content? Because I’m subscribed to some piracy communities and I think I can see the content.
I’m not really up to date with how the links between the different Lemmy instances work
You can check what a particular instance is federating and blocking at any time by visiting the instance page. Here is the one for lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/instances
Notably, it looks like they are federating with dbzer0 again.
Thanks for the information. This is putting me off on Lemmy a bit, feels like I got to keep up with the latest instance drama to ensure I have a good experience.
Guess that’s the trade of with a decentralized system for now.
You can always look into hosting your own personal instance, then you choose the communities you see content from
