Guilty of this with Blasphemous. Never played the game. Watched an hour long lore video about the first game and then like a 40 minute lore video about the second game. Phenomenal lore, highly recommend.

Bonkers to me that you did not finish it. The game is not very hard, extremely rewarding, and has a beyond phenomenal ending. I could not stop playing it and absolutely shed tears when the ending credits rolled.

One hundred percent how I do it everytime.

Completely agree. This is definitely a smart move for lemmy.world in order to protect themselves. With that being said, switch instances if you want to see those communities. Do not fault a person, who already provides a free service, for trying to protect themselves.
