If you're concerned about that, you may want to join an instance with broader federation than Lemmy.world, such as Lemm.ee or Lemmy.ml.
Or one with the broadest possible federation like lemmy.sdf.org, though they are US based if that's a problem for you.
SDF does not defederate. The blocklist is empty. And it's small enough and chill enough that it's unlikely to get blocked by other instances much.
They're a non-profit that's older than the web and offers a variety of network and retrocomputing services including most famously a public access Unix server. They started as a dialup anime BBS.
Yep, that also works. Is CSAM blocked by sdf? I presume not if the blocklist is literally empty, but I'm not sure if that counts.
Blocklist is literally empty.
They federate with everyone, including the insufferable right wingers, the insufferable tankies, and the people who draw loli (I think there's only one lemmy instance still active that allows loli and it's the radqueer one, and it's tiny enough you don't notice it unless you go looking for it). Most of the insufferable right wingers have also closed their respective instances.
If their mastodon instance is any comparison, it still federate with everyone including the instances that post loli. I suspect if an instance were posting stuff illegal in the US that would be grounds for SDF to defederate for legal reasons, but 1A protections are broader than speech protections in most of the rest of the world.
You can always block the community or even the entire instance of anyone you don't want to see.
