@joelthelion You can be on 2 instance and see all instances and there content. It's called the fedeverse. One thing that is awesome compared to reddit
Yeah, but beehaw said they are defederated. How are then their posts still visible?
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 what happens if I reply to a comment from a beehaw user? It just wont reach? That seems like it will cause a lot of issues for users.
That is exactly what happens, but anyone from a different instance federated with yours would still see and be able to respond to your comment on beehaw's instance.
It sounds like a convoluted situation that will inevitably lead to a lot of confusion.
