Novice so please correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is you can still see and post on these other instances/communities. Local will still pull from your instance, but All pulls from everything (or at least what’s still federated). Definitely a need to block all the furry biz that otherwise populates on All/New but after some curating (and eye bleaching) should be good to go!

Hard part is the dedication required. Whenever I come back from hiatus I need to learn combat combos all over again. Easy to get distracted these days.
