So pardon my ignorance but if youโre on lemmy and beehaw defederated, you wouldnโt be able to see any beehaw content, right?
Iโm genuinely still trying to figure it all out still.,
Any new content. We can still see and interact with the posts that were created and copied from when beehaw was federated with lemmy.world. Once they defederated, their server simply stopped interacted with lemmy.world.
Any posts you see from beehaw are just copies. You can still comment and vote, but the changes are only kept on lemmy.world's instance.
Since lemmy.world is still allowing federation with beehaw, lemmy.world users can still see posts and comments from beehaw users, if those beehaw users were to post to the lemmy.world instance directly. The beehaw users wouldn't see any interactions or replies, however.
It's a street with a lane blocked off right now. Lemmy.world allows traffic from beehaw, but beehaw blocked traffic from lemmy.world. We can hear them and see them, but they can't hear or see us.
That ending got a scary movie vibe. Doesn't de-federating kind of take your community out from knowing what's happening around the neighborhood?
I think from the perspective of beehaw, it's more relieving rather than spooky. There's nothing stopping someone from hopping over here to lemmy.world to make an account. It's just that comments and posts from here don't get copied over to beehaw, so it makes it less work to curate and moderate what's showing up for beehaw-specific accounts.
I was thinking about that yesterday, not only can it become an echo chamber for the server, kind of the point of thing like a digital house/hotel, but it gets weirder because there's comments on the same page but it's in a parallel universe of comments. I dunno, feature not a bug?
I think so, but I;m not sure. Could also be the other way around. I'm still new to this as well.
