Today the first of Feb is Global Switch day, Spread awareness of the Fediverse in your communities.
I hear that, but the thing is anyone can block whatever/whoever they feel the need to in the fediverse. I truly believe server admins should federate across the board, as it's a disservice to end users only allowing federation with certain servers based on admin preference.
As far as UI and UX go, Lemmy's devs are some of the biggest players in the overall fediverse functionality. So while the UI/UX could use some more attention in select areas, being able to interact with the other platforms is a much bigger aspect to the appeal of the fediverse! The Lemmy devs really do deserve a lot more credit for their work, regardless on their opinions or how ~~the~~ they approach discussing them.
Lemmy doesn't truly block stuff and the devs refuse to fix that
Really? Huh, I have a decent amount of communities blocked and I've never seen a single post from anyone of them after implementing the block
User level community and instance blocks will stop you from seeing posts from those places, but it does not block their users or their comments, so you'd still be able to see them around in non-blocked communities.
You can also establish a user block though too, so if their comments in unblocked communities are making your experience less than ideal, just block that user.
