Being an old grandpa not that adept at tech, I don’t know how Lemmy works. I mean, I know it’s decentralized and it’s supposed to be better than reddit, but still, how vulnerable is this platform from censors looking to block anything in here?

Are we invincible like those thepiratebay.org instances which jump up the more you try to censor them or are we basically like reddit. In other words, can I reliably access lemmy in China?

      Yeah, unless that unblocked instance resides in China then it’s probably subject to the same restriction as you. Unless they proxy the federation traffic.

      Images are an issue though, as those don’t get cached by the local instance but are just links to the remote instance.
