Now that we’re no longer linked to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works we can’t subscribe to their communities any more.

How affected were your subscriptions? How many of your subs stopped working?

My subs were mostly beehaw and lemmy.world so I’m looking for new stuff. :)

Do you have some tips for interesteing communities on other instances?

    I believe that’s the case, yes. So Kbin/Lemmy.world, etc. still receive the content posted on beehaw, however beehaw doesn’t receive the content posted on Kbin/Lemmy.world. I guess this also makes it so that if anyone were to comment on this thread from another instance, we wouldn’t see their comments (unless they’re from beehaw or another instance that beehaw has federation enabled with)

    edit: It seems that I was wrong, as clarified by @vaguerant below. Federation between kbin and beehaw is still active.

      kbin has not been defederated from Beehaw, so interactions between those servers are continuing as normal. There’s lots of posts about how “we” are defederated from Beehaw on the kbin front page, but those aren’t coming from kbin itself, they’re just showing up on the kbin front page because they’re popular content in the threadiverse.

      We (all of us, not a specific instance) should probably get into the habit of referring to our instances by name instead of just saying “us”, “we”, etc. because it causes exactly this kind of confusion when we don’t.
