Where can I read more about this? I'm new to the fediverse and lost!

This is a big thread on it, but just a heads up, it's definitely on the more technical side of the Fediverse workings, so if you need an explainer on some basic concepts, don't be afraid to ask here as a follow-up to help you understand a bit better (although @raspirate@lemmy.world has a really good basic explainer here for those who aren't super familiar with how all this works yet.)
Thanks! To be clear, its pretty common for instances to block, say, Nazi and the instances that call North Korea NPRK, right?
I'd like to view most of the fediverse. When I joined first, I accidentally joined hexbear lol, then I made it to beehaw. Am I getting the full experience?
Yes, blocking is absolutely common. What is uncommon is for a developer to purposefully hide a blocklist and not allow it to be changed by the admin who is spinning up the service. The issue is that it was undocumented and blocked many people who liked the interface.
I think beehaw is a great choice. When I came to blahaj, it was between here and beehaw, and I still am subbed to a bunch of beehaw communities. I am unsure about what sites beehaw is federated with and not federated with, but they strike me as level-headed and unlikely to be blocking anything that shouldn't be blocked, I would think.
A piece of interface software has been coded to dictate your lemmy experience and shockingly it curates towards the right.
