Okay this is what I’ve gathered so far, someone please correct me, Lemmy is one type of instance on the fediverse when they were federated with beehaw they would see beehaw posts and vice versa. This is no longer the case, as far as I understand it you can still go to beehaw and create an account to browse it but you won’t have access from your Lemmy account. IMHO this makes sense to me, it’s like an entire sub going private.
Beehaw is an instance of Lemmy with a bunch of subs inside it. So it’s not like a sub going silent. It’s a big chunk of the Lemmy user base and their subs being cut off from a couple other large chunks of the user base and their subs (and vice versa), if I understand correctly.
Just to clarify, Lemmy is the software that the servers are running. People will call a server running Lemmy an “instance” of Lemmy. You can create an account on any instance but you’re bound by the rules of that instance’s admins and mods.

Sorry I should’ve clarified, but that was the closest equivalent to reddit I thought of.
Sounds about right
