      No, federation means we all see the same content regardless of which site we sign up on with the exception of sites that yours may block.

      But be wary that lemmy.ml is a tankie instance and the “.ml” stands for Marxism-Leninism. I generally avoid lemmy.ml communities so I don’t get banned for saying “the uyghur genocide is a real thing” or anything.

      The large instances usually subscribe to most of the others but not every instance is equal. You should go to other instances (you don’t have to join) and check their “all” feeds. You’ll definitely see differences.

            There are just certain instances that I wouldn’t want to see, like foreign language ones?

            New to the fediverse, so perhaps I’m not thinking about this correctly, but if could blacklist a whole instance, rather than certain magazines/subs/whatever they are called, it would be easier than playing a game of wack-a-mole.
