I’m still trying to get used to Lemmy; the main thing confusing me is the federated bit.

I just want to access Lemmy and its content; how do I do that? Currently I’m just going to old.lemmy.world and using that as a starting point.

Is there another instance you would recommend as the default one?

The two main reasons I ask are:

  1. I want to know if there are things I am simply missing out on and there’s a better way to browse Lemmy.

  2. I really don’t like cloudflare and have it disabled in Javascript. I don’t want to leave it enabled for lemmy.world.

    .world blocks the more extreme communist instances like lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net, so you’re missing any interaction and opinions of those people.

    See this thread for what instances do not defederate. You can always block people, communities and instances yourself.
