FWIW, I don't block any instances or sublemmys, cross-instance community discovery has always been half-broken in Lemmy and unfortunately nothing I can do about it except force a discovery by searching the instance locally by searching for it.

People really need to stop dogpiling on the most popular instances and instead spread themselves out.

I do that on my own instance too :D, private and small instances are really the way to go!
