Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it’s blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any communities on there that might be relevant to me then I would be missing out. I guess I could just create an account on a walled instance, but I would prefer not to keep creating accounts. I’d like to just find one instance that maximizes my access. Is the answer to just run my own instance?
Okay, thanks for filling me in. I myself am skeptical about US-centric, mainstream criticism of China and DPRK et al., but I can see how that gets annoying when people get carried away with it. If there’s a way to mute instances rather than completely sever the connection for all the members of an instance with a block, I think that would have been more appropriate in this case. I think Mastodon has that functionality, but maybe not.
It seems like Lemmy does not have this functionality yet https://feddit.de/post/753220
