@lemmy I just realized that you can submit posts to any lemmy community from any mastodon / fediverse account. This is pretty cool!

    How exactly do I see other instances? I thought you just signed up individually for each one.

      while browsing your main “feed”, at the top, you can select between “Subscribed”, “Local”, and “All”. You can also click on “Communities” at the top, sort by “All” and get a list of Communities that are available of all instances and subscribe to them. Then, when you go back to your feed, sort by “Subscribed”, and it will be very much like your Home Page on reddit, with all your subs.

        Ahhhh so local is within the current instance and all being a mashed together one kind of. Cool!

        Any way to block an instance? Or just ignore it?

          See the explanation in this comment. As already stated, you can block communities or individual users.

          i don’t know. not that i’m aware of, but you can block individual communities by going to them and selecting the ‘block community’ button under the ‘subscribe’ button’
