I’m fairly new here and was trying to subscribe to some communities from other instances and seem to be having trouble. Are some instances blocked by ours and is there a viewable list of which ones?

      Much appreciated! Is there anyway to interact with blocked instances without joining it directly? I’ve noticed Lemmygrad has some communities I would be interested in but I don’t really want to joins their instance.

        If there is a way, I unfortunately would not know how. The only thing I can think to suggest is hopping over to a instance that doesn’t block it and federates with this one (and all the others you are interested in) and creating a new account there.

            Gotcha. I just jumped off of lemmy.ml because of the overloading happening with the reddit exodus. Think I’ll just chill here for a while and get my bearings. I like the federated concept, it’s just taking some getting used to.

    Unfortunately the instance you are looking for is blocked and for good reason (super toxic community after they welcomed many people from a banned sub-reddit). I wish more Lemmy instances would block them.

        Yes, /r/GenZedong

        Well, I guess it was never fully banned, but when it was quarantined a lot of their users switched to Lemmygrad for a while and really harassed everyone else using Lemmy. It quieted down these days, but I rather not take my chances with them.
