I’m still trying to get used to Lemmy; the main thing confusing me is the federated bit.

I just want to access Lemmy and its content; how do I do that? Currently I’m just going to old.lemmy.world and using that as a starting point.

Is there another instance you would recommend as the default one?

The two main reasons I ask are:

  1. I want to know if there are things I am simply missing out on and there’s a better way to browse Lemmy.

  2. I really don’t like cloudflare and have it disabled in Javascript. I don’t want to leave it enabled for lemmy.world.

    I can maybe piggyback on your question as I was just wondering myself if there is any page that summarizes how many other instances a lemmy instance is blocking plus how many other instances are blocking that instance. Not sure I wrote this very elegantly.

    Basically I know you go to a instance homepage and you can go see which ones they are blocking on some subpage somewhere. But you obviously cannot see a list of which ones are blocking this instance? Or is this the same?
