It was confusing at first - Lemmy.world

I already had to intentionally do that because Beehaw decided to defederate from the instance where all my subscriptions are.
Wait, what? Beehaw is defederated? I still see lots of post from Beehaw on my feed.
I believe beehaw only degenerated from lemmy. If you’re on kbin you can still see both.
Only from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, not with others AFAIK. The anouncementpost can be found here https://beehaw.org/post/567170

So pardon my ignorance but if you’re on lemmy and beehaw defederated, you wouldn’t be able to see any beehaw content, right?

I’m genuinely still trying to figure it all out still.,

I think so, but I;m not sure. Could also be the other way around. I'm still new to this as well.

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.

That ending got a scary movie vibe. Doesn't de-federating kind of take your community out from 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.
