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?

    Yeah, you won’t be able to. Basically, lemmy.world won’t be able to see new posts on beehaw, and vice versa.

      Except I can see a new post from Beehaw. I’m having a conversation with somebody on a Beehaw community right now.

      It seems the catch here may be that they are a Mastodon user. I guess Beehaw is still federated with their instance and so are we, so I can still see their content as if it were from Beehaw and we can comment to each other there!? But I guess if any Beehaw users join in, I’ll not be able to see their comments and they’ll not be able to see mine?

      It’s quite odd, interesting and confusing.

        Oh my! I can imagine this will hurt bees more than the rest of us, because they will read discussions with some comments missing just because the commenter happened to be from lemmy.world or other blocked instances.

          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.
