As much as I understand beehaw admin has every right to defedorate with any instance, and I respect and appreciate beehaw admins looking after the community.

However, it seems this instance is no longer for me. I want to see more content by more people. There needs to be a balance of content quantity vs content quality. I personally think that beehaw is leaning too much towards quality for my personal liking.

I think you just search the community name, if it is on your instance it will show up as community name otherwise it will show up as <community name>@<instance name> like gaming@lemmy.ml.

But in your instance or not, it will not make a difference for your experience, all you need to do is click subscribe, and it will show up in your feed.

Apple has repeatedly given in to Chinese government’s invasive policies, despite all their marketing on “privacy”; because China is a huge market for them. As much as I hate google for most of their practices, they have the basic decency to volunteeringly leave China when their regulations is against the company value.
