When I signed up for Lemmy, I didn’t know about some wars that existed between instances, and when I chose lemmy.ml I thought, “Why not?”. Tbh, dont think too much about instances.

I signed up because I wanted to get the full Lemmy experience, but I don’t know if some instances block the instance I’m connected , and this is a bit confusing for me. At the beginning, when I joined Lemmy, I remember reading that it is advisable to choose the instance carefully, and I even assume that it was my mistake, but I think it could be a little easier for those who enter the fediverse. I guess. Know nothing at this time.

So, the question is there. Do you judge members by instance? I’m just a normal guy; I don’t like the extreme right or extreme communism. In fact, I think all extremism is stupid. But , if you could enlighten me on this, I would appreciate it.

At this point, I don’t know if I’m blocked by some instances or not. Basically, I want to enjoy having the entire Lemmy experience, where I could read all types of content.

EDIT: during this time, maybe some people judge members because the instance. And I dont like that feel if someone think “oh look this dude, is from lemmy.ml, he is extremist communist, for sure”. However, I’m not. Im just a normal guy without any politic side.

    I have an alt account on sh.itjust.works for whenever lemmy.world is down. I’d love to know what you dislike about them so I can determine whether or not I should have a different alt instance. I’m pretty OOTL when it comes to instance drama

        Sh.itjust.works isn’t supposed to be about technology, although I could see how you might get that impression based on the banner picture or name. I mean there’s definitely a lot of tech people but that’s also true of Lemmy as a whole.

        It’s just a general purpose server, probably with mostly North American users due to the location. And also an especially high concentration of French Canadians
