Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it’s blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any communities on there that might be relevant to me then I would be missing out. I guess I could just create an account on a walled instance, but I would prefer not to keep creating accounts. I’d like to just find one instance that maximizes my access. Is the answer to just run my own instance?
can an instance have only 1 community for support and then have no content of its own? I believe that many already do (or near to it). This would likely be the recipe for blocking the least and being blocked the least.
What about an instance with only one user?
self instance? sure, but that’s not one you can join persay
Ah, but I can if it’s mine, right? I’m going to give it a shot.
loads of people are making their own and doing pretty much this. I’m planning on giving it a try sometime over the summer. should be a fun project that I can actually keep using for a while. maybe even make my own notes or something.
I might explore options to make private content just for myself
Instance owners would block that kind of instance based on the activity of its users instead.
they certainly can do that. I wonder if we’ll get to that point where there are SPAM instances that every other instance will need to deal with
