Maybe something that is not understood by new lemmings, at least me, is that when we join communities in other instances we may find ourselves blocked from accessing them (without creating another account) in the future.

A reasonable PSA seems to be to keep in mind the ‘philosophy’ of other instances before joining general interest communities such as News, Technology, Gaming, etc…

As posted by @maltfield@lemmy.ml at https://lemmy.ml/post/1243402 , there are some instances that seem to have an easy trigger when blocking others:

Beehaw 387 TagPro.lol 384 lemmy.techstache 384 lib.lgbt 382 tchncs 69 Pawb.Social 67 Divisions by zero 54 Feddit 47 Feddit.dk 47 Feddit.nu 47 Lemmygrad 42 Leddit Social 42 clatter 41 lemmy.game-files.net 41 oceanbreeze.earth 39 Clueware’s lemmy 39 MRM 38 SS14 Lemmy 25

When choosing instance for your account there should be info on how much instances are blocked by the instance and how many instances are blocking this instance

I think it wouldn’t be nearly as big of an issue if you could move your account to a new instance, similar to Mastodon.

this is already a feature, go to ‘instances’ at the bottom of your page

I was thinking about something like showing numbers on https://join-lemmy.org/instances

Edit: or https://lemmyverse.net/
