If you look at the main dev's profile pictures, they are pictures of Fidel Castro as a young man. They are one of the only new big instances that hasn't blocked lemmygrad.ml, which is basically a tankie pro-CCP pro-Russian-invasion instance, and it is rumored that they mod them with their alts, and that lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are hosted on the same IP address. Lemmy.ml being the biggest or one of the biggest instances, and also the main developers being the leaders of that side, it makes sense to worry a bit.
But as others have said, just don't give them money, sign up elsewhere and you're good.
Wait, the instance you sign up on can block you from seeing whole other instances? I thought it didn't matter where you make a account so much cause you can see the other instances. I'm not a tankie so didn't make my account at lemmygrad, but I still had planned to visit their communities.
Starting to seem like going to need multiple accounts to really use lemmy.
Yup. Go to any instance.url/instances (here it's https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/instances) and you can see what instances they federate with and which they block. You'll notice even here lemmygrad is blocked x). It is banned on any "respectable" instance because honestly they're morons but yes, what you say is true.
You can see what the lemmygrad community thinks about this topic here: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/706060. They are aware that most instances have blocked theirs, are planning on moving to lemmy.ml and are all like "ohhh free speech" (when they would host a public central square book burning party to destroy anything that disagrees with communism)
I especially love the last one because it's all like

Great write up, God. Glad to see we have the lord on our instance /s
Sadly I didn't read your message on time. I was as absent as the real God, which makes sense since I am real and I am God. :) I promise to continue missing almost every prayer!
maybe a stupid question, but are there any instances that exist outside of the ones they federate with or block? for instance (no pun intended), do any subs exist that aren't federated with but aren't blocked either? or can they only be one or the other
an instance not federating and not being blocked is an instance that no user has searched for (and that hasn't been blocked by admins)
I didn't know federation with instances in general was controlled by searches :D!
You sure owned those evil tankies with your strawmen and your clown emoji. Xi himself is going to step down over this. Lemmy, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml are all created by the same tankies you hate. As funny as it would be to see you people whine and b*tch about all these tankies while posting on tankie software om a server with a hostname ending in ml, I think it would be best for everyone if you simply moved on to pleroma. Certainly if I were in your shoes I would out of principle.
Nah, let's continue to hammer their server with shitposts and wholesome discussions, which will force them to spend more money on bandwidth.
"hahaha they can't handle my shitposts I'm so funny hahaha poop hahaha". Touch grass.
Half true. MOST as in, all but lemmygrad, are shown here. But yeah any instance can block any other instance and you're left out, means they won't share posts & communities with each other.
You can do it. Just go to lemmygrad.ml. It's open access and free to view. You can even open an account and talk with them (warning: they will ban you if they disagree with you).
I believe you can still visit the community, even if it's blocked on your home instance. Instances can blacklist other instances from their /all feed though.
