IIRC a few instances are de-federated from .today due to how rightwing/conservative it is. So it’s a bit like shadowbanning yourself.
Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on?

I joined Lemmy.today to see what it’s like to see all the instances, they don’t block anyone. I expected chaos, but it’s just richer. To be fair, I rarely browse 'All, instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.
Now it’s my main account.

Last I checked .today was defederated from one instance, don’t know why. I’m open to more info.
The description and the rules are boilerplate, no bigotry or transphobia kind of thing. The admins have been helpful and responsive. I can see why conservatives would join an instance like this, but there’s nothing inherently conservative about it.
When I joined the most-visited local community was conservative, but they’re pretty tame by right wing standards. A couple of the mods posted left-leaning articles to my community, too.
I don’t pay attention to a lot of Lemmy drama unless it crosses my feed, so I could be wrong. I came here to start a community posting independent media, this seemed like the most unbiased instance at the time.

Browsing /subscribed only is definitely the way.
