I don't think you're missing out on much. Most aren't even lemmy instances.

I received this reply about this from Alyaza:

this is because we started using a heavily curated blocklist for the worst mastodon instances (they can interoperate with us). we didn’t expect any trouble from any of them, but any instance in the new batch of banned instances can be safely assumed to be quite bad and it’s better to be proactive than not.

edit:

checking into a few of the listed blocks now... most of them don't seem to be operating anymore.

Still I'd like to have a choice in the matter lemmy.ml unfortunately also has a lot of blocked instances, and alot of the other instances are overloaded right now. I'll probably wait a week or so until this craze blows over and sign up w/ a newer and smaller instance

For sure, if you want the raw unadulterated experience of the fediverse, that's definitely the right choice.

Personally, I'm not looking to engage with the type of people who flock to 'uncensored' spaces, so I appreciate the admins filtering them out.

Is there a way to view blocked instances and why?
