say there are three instances, A, B and C. if A is not federated with B, users from those two instances can’t interact (right ?) but what if both are federated with C ? would both indirectly be able to interact ? if there is a post on instance C and a user from B comments on it, would that comment be visible on all three instances ?
(except for that Beehaw is also defederated from lemmy.world)
Shit, bad choice of third instance… Who hasn’t beehaw defederated?
Basically, every major instance that isn’t sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world, lemmygrad.ml, or exploding-heads. They moderate in favor of “federate by default, defederate if it becomes a problem, refederate if the problem is addressed”
Lemmynsfw.com is not defederated from beehaw.
Edit: don’t ask me how I know.
What’s the deal with Beehaw defederating with so many?
If they don’t want to be part of the wide fediverse, why pick software designed for it?
I think they are using it exactly as intended, the software is specifically designed to be decentralized and gives instance admins the power to de/federate as they choose.
Let’s say when meta releases their activitypub thing, should everyone federate with them just because they are on the fediverse and will likely have a lot of users?
