I noticed that when I attempt to subscribe to beehaw subs, it seems to be stuck on pending. This has been the case for a couple hours now. Is this expected behavior? I think I read somewhere that beehaw was defederating. Perhaps this is the reason it’s not working?
yes. so from beehaw’s perspective they have no access to lemmyworld communities (like how lemmyworld lacks beehaw communities). On other instances, like kbin magazines, beehaw users will be unable to see lemmyworld comments, and thus be “missing” comments and posts. so beehaw is definitely “hurt” more by this in terms of their content accessibility.
however, beehaw sees this as a positive and a benefit, not as a negative, because they don’t want to see lemmyworld content.
