I heard Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world among others, but recently I have been seeing content from beehaw communities and users. Did they re-federate? If so, why? And if not, why am seeing updates from their servers again?

I can see where you’re coming from for sure. There is nothing stopping lemmy.world from defederating as well which would clear up any confusion like this at the cost of further restricting its users. It would be nice though to have something like a visual warning or something letting the user know if they are visiting a community that is hosted on an instance which has defederated from their home instance. It could be something as simple as a little icon that if you click on it will link to a page explaining what defederation is or something.
Yeah. I like your warning idea as well. I don’t know how invasive it needs to be, but I think there should be some clarity that you’re basically screaming into a literal echo chamber.
I’d love to see that level of self awareness tbh
Sidenote:
There is a family of overfed racoons by my house and they are hilarious(and sad). I guess people feed them, they scratch at the door and shit. They are plump af.
