Why Can't I See Certain Communities on Lemmy.ml ? (lemmy.ml)

I’m new to Lemmy and previously had an account on another instance (can’t recall which one), where I could see NSFW communities like those dedicated to adult content. However, after joining Lemmy.ml, I’ve noticed I can’t find or interact with those types of communities.

Can a Lemmy instance block its users from accessing specific communities or even entire instances that host such content ?

If so, is there a way to connect to those communities while staying on Lemmy.ml, or would I need to join a different instance ?

I’m just trying to understand how federation and instance rules work to make the most of the Fediverse.

Any insights would be super helpful—thanks in advance!

sh.itjust.works does not require an application

Beehaw is planing to migrate to a different platform and they haven't been updating their lemmy server software. Maybe not a good idea to use Beehaw.

Theres also lemmy.dbzer0.com - the instance I'm using. Very pro-piracy and seems to be anarchist friendly

or lemmy.world - early on it was like the top 2 biggest, it hosts a lot of the main communities

the last 2 I mentioned do need an application tho

Apparently we’re moving to piefed 🤞

piefed seems interesting but i can only see lemmy subs and accounts

Fair, that’s all I want anyway. Masto overlap with lemmy is neat but usually pretty janky looking
