There are instances that federate together as a single sort of entity.
So, are there other entities? Meaning, is there a group of Lemmy instances somewhere outside of the existing ones we see here?
And, how do I get there, and which one don’t have people from the USA?
Edit, image example
IIRC there were a couple of nazi instances that were instantly defederated by everyone except each other. But I'm pretty sure they are both dead now. Good.
Yes, all Nazis should die. But apparently calling for a Nazi to die will get you banned. Logic that doesn’t work in my brain.
Getting banned is a badge of honor here.

Edit: Read your other comments nevermind. I realize you are like in some sort of weird transitionary phase where you don't like anyone. Try it out in a few years when you realize the axis of resistance is the only way forward.
It’s not that I dislike everyone on earth. It’s that anyone who simps for a government is a government stooge. All existing governments are failures, and to falsely claim one of the big 3 is vastly better just to crush another is a despicable practice that doesn’t actually help humanity at all.
So no, anything ending in .ml is probably going to only want half of me ;)
Yes! Love it.
Yeah like I said your in your phase of socialist development where you've accepted that the west is evil, but you have yet to deprogram yourself from the propaganda about its adversaries. So you see both the west, and its enemies, as the problem. Which is incoherent. I do not think anyone exists who thinks a government is perfect, but China is very clearly much better in many ways than any western government, and that is the very reason most of the global south looks to China in friendship.
It's a common mindset to go through. I hope you can get through it in a productive way.

Yes, to piggyback off this, wait til you get called an Authoritarian Tankie, and then a Russian or Chinese bot for straight up repeating facts you learned from western books.
It’s a great feeling to be on this side!
I got perma banned from reddit because I said something bad about a nazi. Reddit rejected my appeal saying "I suggested violence"
Specific/credible death threats put instance admins in serious legal jeopardy (a.k.a. fedposting).
That's the main reason for it.
I’m aware you support silencing resistance.
The person replied their honest opinion on the issue and your reply was fairly dickish. Good luck looking for a new place for friends!
You’re here, and that’s why I dislike it.
You don't have to be, you know.
I know, which is why I’m asking to leave. And to show what an absolute trash bucket this place is, you’re advise to me is literally the question I’m asking.
You’re the problem.
You don't actually need our permission to leave. But you've commented elsewhere that you're an anarchist, so it's understandable some basic concepts might be difficult for you.
Anyway, you can literally do anything but comment here. Anything.
You think being an anarchist means I don’t get basic concepts?
Honey, you’ve shown an entire social network you don’t understand the word “anarchy.”
You think being an anarchist means I don’t get basic concepts?
Yeah, I do. Yeah.
Honey, you’ve shown an entire social network you don’t understand the word “anarchy.”
Dude, no one gives a shit about our little exchange here. I suppose being an anarchist comes with inflated ego as well.
I watch as your ego inflates. It’s like i see myself, and I hate you and you hate me and I hate me and you hate you.
This is magical.
Very introspective. Well, I think I'm done with the hating today. Hope you have a lovely weekend and find a place where every interaction doesn't turn into hating strangers.
Likewise. ;)
You could host your own and decide for yourself with which you want to federate. Or just block whatever you don't like.
Easiest is probably to just subscribe to the communities you like and only browse the subscribed communities. And then block instances/users you don't want to see.
Only other thing I have seen is instances not federating at all. Lemmy and probably Piefed as well support that out of the box. In that case they are just normal forums.
Don't know any Lemmy server that does that but Truth Social is actually running Mastodon and not federating with the rest of the world. Not that anyone would want to federate with that shit show anyways.
another example that's similar like truth social that uses activitypub but a lot of the fediverse defederate with them is Threads by Meta, their own version of Twitter.
Yeah, I’ll skip that truth social haha.
The trouble with self hosting is that leads to credit card trails (unless crypto, and still) and I don’t think asking for Trump to be assassinated in no joking way is something you want so easily attached to an identity. Make them work a little bit for it.
Check out this graph made by /u/Zedstrian@sopuli.xyz. It shows defederations between major Threadiverse instances. I don't think any instance groups are completely isolated, but some like Lemmygrad and Hexbear have been defederated by over half of the major instances.
This is quite unreadable… too much overlap for me to understand it :(
I think that illustrates how messy this whole federation thing. but it's a mess that I somewhat welcome as that's the beauty in it if that makes sense.
There arent many that fully isolate itself and defederate with all other servers. Beehaw was of the earlier ones that approached the federation with strict moderation walls.
