From what I understand, if we defederate from them, they can't see our posts either. See what happened when Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works .
They could still be see the content by creating another instance, or by getting it from lemmy.ca directly. I doubt they'll do that though, especially with Lemmy. Lemmy communities look weird when seen from mastodon, and I doubt they'd look much better from threads.net.
Also I hate how they called it Threads. That's already a word used for other things in this space. Theres a thing called the threadiverse, and it doesn't include Facebook/meta/instagram threads?
Yeah but Beehaw defederated them, not the other way around. If threads.net defederates with us then they can't see any of our new content but if we defederate with them then the flow of content only stops from Threads to us, right?
Beehaw defederated lemmy.world.
If you go to any community on Beehaw viewed from lemmy.world, you can see that new content isn't available. Only posts & comments from lemmy.world users show up.
If you go to any community on lemmy.world viewed from Beehaw, you can see the same thing.
As soon as one defederates the other, all communication between them stops, afaik. The content isn't federated in either direction.
Edit: I might be somewhat wrong, since there are a few posts by users from other instances, but it's only a few, almost all posts and comments aren't available. I dont know what's going on here, disregard what I said.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !technology@lemmy.world, !lemmyworld@beehaw.org
Yeah I don't claim to understand this fully either but I've learned that the best way to get right answer for something on the internet is to say something that's wrong and so far people don't seem to be rushing to tell me I'm wrong at this so I think I have it somewhat right. I don't know which instances defederate with mine so I can't really explore it further
