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!

People outside beehaw can still comment there and people inside beehaw would still see these comments.

This posts explains better how it works https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/24341/How-the-beehaw-defederation-affects-us

Wait, I don't think thats right. Unless I am missunderstanding it?

comment is going to be sent to every version of that post via ActivityPub, as the "true" version has been updated. That is, every version EXCEPT lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. So users on lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works won't get that comment, because we've been defederated from beehaw.org. If we write a comment, it will only be visible from accounts on lemmy.world, because we posted to a copy, but our copy is now out of sync with the "true" version. So we can appear to interact with the post, but those interactions are ONLY visible by other lemmy.world accounts, since our comments aren't send to other versions. As the "true" version is hosted on beehaw, and we no longer get beehaw updates due to defederation, we will not see comments from ANY other community on those posts (including from other defederated instances like sh.itjust.works)

Now that BeeHaw has defederated, they won't see any comments from lemmy.world/shitjustworks users in their own communities.

If they kept federation, those users would be able to comment on beehaw.org communities.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant that, if they didn't defederate and their users just kept on their 'local' feed, they'd still see outside comments.
