I noticed that when I attempt to subscribe to beehaw subs, it seems to be stuck on pending. This has been the case for a couple hours now. Is this expected behavior? I think I read somewhere that beehaw was defederating. Perhaps this is the reason it’s not working?

    yes. so from beehaw’s perspective they have no access to lemmyworld communities (like how lemmyworld lacks beehaw communities). On other instances, like kbin magazines, beehaw users will be unable to see lemmyworld comments, and thus be “missing” comments and posts. so beehaw is definitely “hurt” more by this in terms of their content accessibility.

    however, beehaw sees this as a positive and a benefit, not as a negative, because they don’t want to see lemmyworld content.

      That’s their right. Not every instance have to be interconnected to everything.

      (like how lemmyworld lacks beehaw communities).

      If only that were the case. the trouble is, for users on lemmy.world, if they look at commuties, 4 of the top 9 they can “subscribe” to are Beehaw communities.

      They can even access and post on those communities, unaware that they have been put in a wee walled garden by beehaw…

      Unfortunately the only solution to that at this time would be lemmy.world clicking the defederate with beehaw button

        yeah, how lemmy.world decides to respond is up to them. defederating would also mean not seeing beehaw comments outside of beehaw (and similarly hiding all of the non-beehaw replies to those beehaw comments).
