      Sorry I’m new- what do you mean only on one instance? Is it this instance that I created my account? The lemmy.world one? If I make another account on another instance then I won’t see all of these?

        Communities are hosted on instances, just like user accounts, and certain instances may promote certain views, etc

        Scroll to the bottom here and you can see the instances yours doesn’t interact with

        Your account is on the instance lemmy.one. This world news community is on lemmy.ml. If you don’t want to see any of the communities from lemmy.ml, you can make an account on an instance that defederates, or blocks, lemmy.ml. You can look by going to the bottom of the page on whatever instance, and click the “instances” link. Depending on which lemmy version the instance is running, blocked instances will either be on the right side of the page, or all the way at the bottom. If you just don’t like this community, you can block it from your current account. There should be a big red block community button on the right side of this post.
