You know, it’s like you’re walking through the forest, enjoying its beauty, and then you don’t notice how a hungry bear attacks you, even though you were warned about it.
What a shame, when the trap snaps it will be very painful…

Basically “yes” to all of the above, including “not all connected”: Most of them are connected to each other, but some are “defederated”, for example there’s one called Beehaw that isn’t connected to lemmy.world and some of them have chosen not to connect to lemmynsfw.com for reasons.
I see. So instead of muting a single person, it would be like a way to mute whole communities?
Yeah - in the terminology here it would be more like a whole group of communities (since we call each “topic” on an instance a community) but yes.
Admins can (and do) also block individual communities on an instance that is still federated, such as lemmy.world blocking [email protected] but leaving most of the rest of dbzer0 connected.
