Finding an instance that blocks least and is least blocked

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?

7eter,

U might want to take a look at the federation map. It might be a bit overwhelming but in the settings on the bottom left you may chose blocked and allowed in order to get some insights on who federates with whom.

They’re just generally annoying. They’re tankies, constantly praising Putin and the CCP.

thevoyage,

Basically sums it up really, although it’s great fun to drop in and stir up shit every so often.

They’re completely off the deep end though.

I hate linking you to reddit but this post came to mind Choosing an instance; and my issues with lemmygrad

Be communist.

Be mindlessly propagandistic “communist.” The countries they fawn over aren’t even particularly communist, they’re just authoritarian. Russia in particular is run by capitalist oligarchs.

It’s just tiresome and pointless engaging with them.

Hi facedeer, you understand that one of the Lemmy.ml instance rules is not being insulting, right?

I don’t appreciate being called mindlessly propagandized out of the blue, especially by someone who’s certainly heavily propagandized.

The countries they fawn over aren’t even particularly communist, they’re just authoritarian.

Can you help me understand your level of knowledge about Marxism-leninism that you feel comfortable correcting me?

It’s just tiresome and pointless engaging with them.

You engaging me makes this a lie. You started barking first.

I’m not speaking about you specifically, I have no idea who you are. I’m talking about lemmygrad in general. Just like the person you were responding to was talking about. He asked “what did lemmygrad.ml do?” And I’m clarifying that.

It’s not that lemmygrad.ml is simply “communist.”

Generally, when you describe a group it’s understood that you’re describing members of that group. As a Lemmygrad user, you’ve called me “mindless” and “propagandized” (with no provocation or context). This is rude. You’ve also chosen to engage with me while taking part in a strange farce about how you wouldn’t choose to engage with me.

It’s not that lemmygrad.ml is simply “communist.”.

I thought I was pretty clear when I first asked: what is your experience with Marxism-leninism that you feel comfortable making this statement?

I’m not basing my statement off of any experience with Marxism-leninism. I’m basing it off of my experience with lemmygrad posters here on Lemmy. For example, this thread about the Tienanmen Square anniversary. I don’t particularly care about the specific political ideologies on display.

It’s fine to be offended that they called you propagandised, but that doesn’t make it less offensive to immediately say the same thing back to them. You are both insulting each other, it’s not helping the Lemmygrad situation.
