I've seen countless posts about the tankie problem here in the lemmyverse

BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 77 points –

I'm not sure I've seen any evidence of it existing though, is it just a Boogeyman, or so something that happened a while back? An in joke of some sort?

They're blocked in your instance, just like piracy related communities.

That's why i left LW, I want to decide which communities I block

Believe me, it's tiring to block things over and over, because lemmy has the tendency to have duplicate communities every instance.

I too tried instances with zero unfederated lists. Now I just live in an instance with minimal unfederated list.

What made you select lemdro.id ? If I may ask, I'm wanting to get off lemmy.world also, but seem to be getting stuck in waiting for approval hell from the couple instances I signed up with.

Sincerely main reason was that it had no blocked instances and it had content enough, then the name is also cool.

You just need to verify your email, that's a plus as well against other instances that ask for more information or have registration closed

Me too. I found unilem who's policy is explicitly not to defederate from any instance. I prefer to be treated like an adult and allowed to decide for myself who I block.
