2 as of today. My main is on BeeHaw, but I realized that some of the communities I wanted to follow were on defederated instances, so I signed up for programming.dev. I think I'm going to use it for the tech-related communities (plus anything defederated) and BeeHaw for the rest
Similar but I started in Lemmy.ml. Then found programming.dev.
what does it mean if a community is defederated? does that mean that community can only be accessed by the instance it is hosted on?
A specific instance (like BeeHaw) can defederate other instances. It's basically like blocking that instance so users on BeeHaw can't interact with that instance.
So for example if BeeHaw defederated Lenny.World, BeeHaw users won't be able to see communities from Lemmy.World?
What about if Lemmy.World users comment on Lemmy.ml posts, can BeeHaw users see Lemmy.World user's comments?
