Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

Take my reply with a grain of salt because I'm also very new to this. From what I understood, although you can create instances and interact with everyone, other instances can choose to cut ties (blocking) with your instance. For example, beehaw blocked lemmygrad.ml which can be seen at https://beehaw.org/instances (on the bottom of this page there's a link in "Instances"). So, if your Lemmy account is on Beehaw, you won't be seeing lemmygrad.ml posts. I don't even know if it's possible to comment on them (maybe someone can elaborate on this).

That's correct, yeah. It's basically the equivalent of the instance being blocked by a firewall as far as I understand.
