Comment on Is Lemmy.World refederated with Beehaw.org?
cerement@slrpnk.net 2 years ago
- federation is not a reciprocal thing – Beehaw can block Lemmy.World while Lemmy.World can still have Beehaw unblocked
- you can check what instances your instance is blocking by adding
/instancesto your instance’s address – ex. lemmy.world/instances

I had it in my head that it doesn’t matter who blocks who, if one instance defederates from another it looks the same from both instances - you don’t see new content on one from the other. Is that not the case?

If beehaw blocks lemmy.world, Lemmy.world can still get the beehaw content, but any comments made by lenny.world accounts, as an example, are not visible to beehaw users, or on the beehaw instance. At least that’s how I understand it.
Not sure how it plays out if a lemmy.world user makes a comment on another instance then the beehaw user views the same 3rd server though.
