I’m with lemmy.world and I can still see beehaw recent posts and I can interact with them despite us being mutually defederated. How does this actually work?

    You can see the posts, but any interactions are like you talking into the void.

        No. I hear you. I see you. And gosh darn it people like you.

        Now shut up while I eat my beans

      I thought I read somewhere that other local users can also see your comments?

      I wonder if that applies to other federated instances as well. Like if my home instance (lemmygrad.ml) is federated with lemmy.ml, and I make a post on BeeHaw (which is not federated with either), could lemmy.ml users see my comment?

        The host instance is responsible for federating (is that a word?) the posts/comments to others. So any comments on lemmy.world to a beehaw community will only show to other lemmy.world users. No one on lemmy.ml would see them.
