Lemmy by default will federate with all instances if you don't put instances in the "Allowed Instances" section. I've found, it's easier to federatte with all instances and ban the ones you don't want. Otherwise, you effectively use a whitelist to federate.

Well that's terrifying
It's also worth noting that there's an upper limit on the number of communities you choose to federate with, while there doesn't seem to be an upper limit on the blocked communities
Well this is disturbing.
As a webmaster myself, I've noticed a small number of users with repeating seemingly generated names, all with the same or similar answer to the registration screening question. I'd be curious if you could release the database of usernames and screening question answers. I'd bet other Lemmy admins would benefit from any analysis done on that database. TTP.
I also use Jeroba, as it's in the FDroid repos. I'll look into those others you mentioned, but I'm quite happy with Jeroba so far.
If you think they're not capable of if not already engaged in PSYOPS, I'd suggest you look deeper into targeted advertising and who is paying for it.
There's also podman-compose, which I've been using. It's not quite feature complete, but it's pretty close.
Saving this for later, thank you very much for the detailed writeup. I might look into this for my main machine to partition the vpn tasks from the non-vpn tasks
You can also use reader clients - I use LiFeRea on linux, it's in the app repository as liferea. It;s free
I deleted my 10 year and 5 year old accounts. I didn't purge my posts and comments, as I doubt they're truly deleted from the database and I wanted to leave that content for people who aren't reddit. I've moved to the fediverse, andi think I'm here to stay.
