That was a very helpful post, so I could make sure I was subscribed to all three communities listed and not just this one, lol.

Edit to add: on my instance there are communities that are hidden by default, but not blocked at all. If you subscribe to such a community, everything shows up like normal for you. It seems to me this is a better option for communities seen as controversial or problematic. And of course defederation is always an option when needed.

I finally wiped the windows partition off my main home PC last week. Feels good, man.
