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.

What trans instances have they defederated?

Now that I look, I think it was really just hexbear.net, which I didn’t agree with so I moved to another instance that didn’t have them blocked

Calling hexbear a “trans instance” is pretty misleading. They’re explicitly political first and foremost, and happen to have a high concentration of trans/queer users. They were defederated by .world for being overbearing and disruptive, not because of their transness or queerness. Blahaj zone, by comparison, is explicitly a trans instance first and foremost, and is still federated by .world.

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.

Same, I use World and in the Boost app I just select all or subscribed instead of local and I definitely still see the piracy community that I’m subscribed to 🤷‍♂️

I’ve seen quite a bit of both on here so I’m not sure what your talking about. IDK admitting about hexbear.

The first one was one of my problems. I should add the info to my post.
