I'm still quite lost when it comes to the fediverse. I created an account on the main instance, however as I understood more how it works, it seems like certain instances that interest me are "defederated" from this instance, and vice versa. So now I want to move my account to be able to see those instances, however I want to keep my follows and my posts I have on this instance. Is that possible? I read that fediverse is resistant to censorship in this regard, so there must be something I'm missing here.

Jumping in to ask a question too, is there a way to see what instances are de-federated from?

Also if I don't want to see furry stuff in my time line etc i bloke the community not the instance right?

You can block instances, communities, and users.

Defederation means those instances are blocked by default for all users of the instance.

Yeah but as for levels

User is me or you

Community is like a subreddit ?

And an instance is Lemmy.world right?
