I'm not sure instance hopping is available yet, but you can always just sign up for the instance you want. However, Lemmy.world is not the "main" instance, Lemmy.ml is. Lemmy.world is the largest instance, which can cause confusion, but it definitely takes an active stance against Marxists and even Anarchists, which is why it is defederated from some of the major leftist instances.
Which instance are you trying to join? Which defederated ones from Lemmy.world do you want to see?
As far as weβre concerned there is no βmainβ instance, we donβt want there to be one, and we explicitly state that lemmy.ml is not that. What is lemmy.ml?
Thanks for that, didn't know! I was unaware that there was an official stance on the matter, though even nutomic makes the point that it's easy to conflate "flagship instance" with "main instance."
The core Lemmy devs admin this instance and use it as a guinea pig for new software releases, but otherwise itβs not special.
Gotcha.
I think it was lemmy.dbzer0 (?) something along those lines. However when I use the tool to see defederated instances this one doesn't show up, however I can't find it when I search for it either.
You can see lemmy.dbzer0 from Lemmy.world I believe.
All I get when I search that instance is Mullvad VPN. Can an admins also block specific communities within an allowed instance?
They can block specific communities.
Previously there was this whole thing over lemmy world admins banning their piracy community so I would not be surprised if they were blocking certain dbzero communities as well out of their extremely cautious and risk averse nature.
They can, yes, but I am not sure if that's your issue.
Either way, joining dbzer0 should fix your problem.
