Yes. Though it doesn’t have to be cheese. Carrot will grate just as well.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
If you really want to confront the madness:
1·1 year agonp. also wow! a lot more than a couple banned instances now!
that page has changed dramatically in the past couple days
I’m new to this as well, so this is all AFAIK, don’t take it as gospel, please correct me readers, etc.
If the instance my account is on is down or slow, I may not be able to log in.
Correct. Your account is tied to your local instance. Unlike mastodon there is currently no way to transfer accounts between instances.
Only moderators from my account’s server can take action against me? This seems… potentially problematic, unless the moderators from federated instances are all in communication with one another? E.g. if I’m a problem on one instance but not my home instance, is there nothing the moderators on the non-home instance can do?
Moderators of communities can delete your posts or ban you from their community. I’m not sure if remote admins can easily ban you from their entire instance.
Remote admins can definitely decide to de-federate your local instance if you and a bunch of peers are being bad trolly spambots.
Could you elaborate on peering? Does that refer to which Fediverse apps a Lemmy instance can communicate with?
Yes. Click “instances” at the bottom of this page to see which instances beehaw federates with. You’ll note there are a couple banned instances due to issues with their content or moderation.
Yep. and if you’re having trouble searching for a community because nobody else on your local instance is a member of the community yet, you could check a site like this:
AFAIK, the difference is mostly in the performance, moderation, and peering of each instance.
