I mean, I use my LW account for local and lemm.ee for all (because it can see more posts). They are just… different, although I am getting pretty annoyed at the mass of r/politics level politcal discourse on the LW local feed.
lemmy.world has been defederated and has defederated some pretty large instances. On the othe hand lemm.ee is probably the instance with one of the most open fed lists
DUMB. Just another reason for the average user to not bother with the platform IMHO. I can’t be arsed to figure out who is censoring or who isn’t I just want it to work.
Whaaaaaat. See this is the shit I’m talking about. Stupid I have to watch out for these kinds of pitfalls that I only know about because somebody happens to tell me.

I agree on that point, I have built a site to check for that https://defed.xyz but you still have to query each instance manually. It’s just the way Lemmy works, some research is required when creating your account. I could write you a whole spielt on what criteria you should look at but the short answer is that if you want something big that “just works” lemm.ee might be the place for you.
a decentralized system NECESSARILY has these challenges. it’s a feature not a bug. if you want it to be easy then go back to Reddit where it doesn’t work for different reasons. this will never be that so either you accept this and learn or put up with spez type bullshit.

What do you mean “it can see more posts”? I thought the point of world was that it was the general everything respiratory.

You can view all blocked instances by viewing the /instances page and scrolling to the bottom.
For lemmy.world you just check https://lemmy.world/instances
Off the top of my head, LW accounts can’t see posts from beehaw, hexbear, or piracy communities on db0 due to defed/blocks.

Appreciate the feedback, I definitely want it to “just work”.
