    That’s interesting. What happens if a lemmy user replies to a beehaw user’s comment from a lemmy instance? Does the beehaw user just never see it?

      Yeah, but small correction: Beehaw only defederated from two specific instances of Lemmy, not the entire system. If you were engaging with a Beehaw community from lemmy.one or other instances that Beehaw is still federated with, everyone sees everything on both sides.

      Also, if the Beehaw user really wanted to engage with the lemmy.world or other defederated instances, nothing is stopping them form creating an account on that instance (or any other instance federated with the desired community) and commenting or posting from there.

        The user need to be conscient of that. Otherwise its really unfair. If he doesn’t know the server he choose did that, he will be restrain without being aware of this.

        And in an other hand, if I have to check why someone don’t respond to me (example), to be sure where this someone is, is federated, that would be really painful and discouraging. That can lead to a lot of misunderstood too.

      Yeah I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t see it and eventually you wouldn’t see new posts from beehaw.
