In what way do you have to ‘go out of your way’ to interact with ml or hex?
Are… they not federated with your instance?
If yes, they’re not federated, then you did that to yourself, by joining an instance that doesn’t show their posts and communities to you.
If no, they are federated… then just sort set your feed from local to global, and you’ll see their posts in their communities pop up.
… The entire point of the federation model is to allow each user to determine … basically how much of a bubble they want to be in.
You may determine a whole instance is full of nutcases in a bubble, and avoid them… or you may not think that, and retain the ability to interact with them.
Generally speaking… you can pretty much join whatever instance you want, and in so doing, you are accepting the instances that are federated with your own instance, and rejecting the instances your instance admins have defederated from.
