Defederation means that posts and comments from defederated instances no longer appear on beehaw. I don’t think it automatically means the reverse. You can even comment on a beehaw post, but your comment just stays on your Lemmy instance, it never goes to beehaw
So I can still see beehaw communities here and comment on them but if I do they won’t show up to beehaw users?
If that’s the case then we really need some indication/warning sign that the instance is defederated, or else people will be talking into the void if they don’t keep close track of which instances are/aren’t defederated.
Yeah, but beehaw said they are defederated. How are then their posts still visible?
