Either my searching is wrong, or there’s a weird sub name out there….but I find it perplexing that us nerds haven’t made a big gaming sub yet?
I’ve seen a lemmy world one, a pcgaming on kbin, a beehaw one that’s mostly dead….but no big boi general one?
I’ve blocked 3 fuck cars communities just this evening but I nary see any gaming posts in my ALL - active/hot.
Weird. Someone point me in the right direction please 😅
I think you’re mistaken.
A LW user does NOT see new beehaw content. If I visit [email protected] on my LW account and sort by new… the newest post is 2d old from an infosec.pub user and the next newest is 4d from a LW user. However, if I visit [email protected] from my beehaw account there’s at least a dozen+ NEW posts from the last 24 hours, mostly from beehaw users.
But that kind of shows my point, it’s confusing. I think the simplest way to think of it (again, very layman understanding that could be wrong). LW users on [email protected] can only see posts and comments from non-beehaw users but the vast majority of the users/posts on that channel are from beehaw.
Wait did I get it exactly backwards? I need more sleep and less heat.
So non-local communities from (one-way) de-federated instances are basically mod-less spaces where users from federated instances can interact with eachother?
E.g. LW users and infosec users can create posts and comments on lemmy.world/c/[email protected], but the mods from beehaw.org/c/gaming have no power and don’t even see it, since they are disconnected.
