Since my last post yesterday, lemmy.world has added over 3000 new users, bringing the total user count to 22000 today (source: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). It firmly holds the position of the second-largest lemmy instance, passing beehaw.org by a large margin of 10000 users.

In other news, beehaw has defederated from lemmy.world a few hours ago. How does the third-largest instance only have 4 ~~mods~~ admins for its 12000 users?!

So much going on!

I find it very confusing that they are defederating. Beehaw users can choose to watch local content only. Why damage the federation in this crucial time?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Nah, de-federation means they won't be seeing anything from lemmy.world on:

  • local posts
  • lemmy.world posts

They will still see lemmy.world comments on other instances, but lemmy.world posts won't appear on the ALL sorting.

In the same way lemmy.world won't be able to see beehaw posts.

Basically,

  • local only concerns posts that have been submitted on beehaw communities
  • All concerns posts submitted on any instance that is federated and to which at least one user on the instance is subbed to.

No, they can choose to see content from local communities. The users posting in those communities, and the people commenting on those posts, can still come from any federated site.
