I’ve tried searching for other posts that ask a similar question, but I couldn’t fine one that could fully make me understand what it would mean in this scenario.

So far from my understanding is that if I browse All, the instance I’m on won’t show anything at all from the instances that it blocked. But manually doing the workaround would still show me the community and whatever posts that got federated in my instance. Is my understanding correct?

The other topic of federation that I’m interested to understand as a user are below.

The example: fedia.io states in their federation list that it does not federate with ani.social. But ani.social states they federate with fedia.io.

I can go to say [email protected] just fine via fedia.io, although there is some posts that doesn’t show. Is this one of the result of this situation?

Additionally, today I did basically try to subscribe to all the same communities/magazines on my lemmy.world (I’m considering to abandon this account), fedia.io and kbin.earth accounts.

Other than the situation above happened to some communities where some post doesn’t sync, I’ve also found some communities that’s just inaccessible from either 3 instances.

Is that another result of not being federated?

Thanks in advanced.

    Hmm, I see. This is interesting. It gives me the feeling that I either would “have to” have a generalist account on the least defederated instance to have as wide a net (kind of my early times on reddit), or I would have specialized accounts to specific topics in multiple instances.

      for myself I look to have an account on an instance that federates everywhere. I block stuff myself. Given that I find domain blocking does not work correctly and the language filter is iffy. Im hoping those get improved but the language might be local configs that are not correct or something.

        I’d love that. I still need to go looking for an instance that I can fit in and just block and curate myself.

        How is the moist instance? is it stable and relatively quick? I’m partial to stay with mbin instances more than Lemmy but I’m still open to anything really.
