Presumably the 196 connection is that we are one of the larger communities to migrate from Reddit and thus a large part of this user explosion, but I don’t see 196 users being particularly problematic.
Not much. You might see somewhat confusing threads in which lemmy.world/shitjustworks users reply to BeeHaw users, but the BeeHaw users never respond as they can’t see them.
And also BeeHaw communities you participate in might seem a lot more dead
Is there more to this story?

Having 80% of the posts on the home page from 196 is definitely problematic. 196 users really should touch grass and post less
That’s against the rule
If I’m on neither of the affected instances, and I’m subscribed to resources in both sides of the defederation, am I affected?

no, everyone without a beehaw account is safe thankfully, you can still sub to beehaw communities, not sure if you can comment there though
they can participate on beehaw, because their server isn’t banned there.

I went and replied to that. Honestly, I’m only here because of 196. The rest of reddit can suck a beefy fart out of my arsehole.
wish i and the rest of instances could reply 3:
I think I lucked out and chose a random non-drama instance. I hope.
Seems pretty small, you’ll be good.
I’ve been debating setting up an instance for myself just so I can have an amusing vanity domain.
Do it!
