Welcome!

It is recommended (but not required) to use a client that lets you block certain instances and communities. It allows for you to curate a more "sane" feed.

Also, we are frequently accused of being nice here on lemmy, so just to even things out a little: Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. Now, stick around and enjoy your stay, or I shall taunt you a second time.

PS: You should totally install Linux.

Hey! I'm using voyager as a client! Will there be a need of blocking instances however?

I already use Linux wherever I can (sadly not for my work laptop yet..)

I haven't felt the need to block any instance besides the NSFW ones on my main account so I can scroll in public without porn popping up, but then again I'm less thin-skinned than most

You can have a look at those two and make your own decision

Blocking instances is your choice really. I won't mention any, as I prefer people to decide for themselves, but it shouldn't take you long to notice some common denominators regarding posts and communities from certain instances.
