I read on another post in a different community that some servers have neo-nazis running them? If that is the case, no thanks, I donβt want that.
It's possible, it's one of the downsides of being federated. The instances are moderated independendently, there is no central authority that enforces law or morals. It's great to avoid things like what happened to Reddit, but stuff like that can and will show up. You can always block instances to avoid seeing them, if you want.
How does one block an instance as a user? I thought only instances can block other instances.
My bad, I meant community. You can block communities individually. For blocking instances as a user there's an open issue on Lemmy's GitHub, but I believe it's not going to be implemented anytime soon.
