Choosing which instance of a community to join (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Maybe something that is not understood by new lemmings, at least me, is that when we join communities in other instances we may find ourselves blocked from accessing them (without creating another account) in the future.

A reasonable PSA seems to be to keep in mind the 'philosophy' of other instances before joining general interest communities such as News, Technology, Gaming, etc...

As posted by @[email protected] at https://lemmy.ml/post/1243402 , there are some instances that seem to have an easy trigger when blocking others:

I think it wouldn't be nearly as big of an issue if you could move your account to a new instance, similar to Mastodon.
