I learned just recently that dbzer0 has a great piracy community that is blocked by lemmy.world . I’m not saying I’m looking to switch instances or anything, but it did get me wondering what else might be blocked by my instance that I wasn’t previously aware of.
While we’re at it, I’m curious what communities might notably be blocked on other instances as well. So we might as well just make this a question about what might be blocked by any particular instance, not just my instance.
So, what’s blocked on some instances that folks might not have realized is blocked?
If you’re talking about blocking specific communities, I’m not aware of any other major ones. Lemmy.world is the largest instance, so most likely to be targeted by legal threats, and run by volunteers, so not worth going to jail over.
Entire instance blocks are pretty common though. Ignoring spam instances, the commonly blocked ones would be Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Hilarious Chaos (previously called Exploding Heads).
