I think so, i'm not 100% sure. Lemmy and kbin and others are built on the ActivityPub standard. That's a pull system. You comment on a beehaw post, then beehaw pulls your comment to beehaw so beehaw users can see it.

I'm not sure how your comment then appears on other instances, I don't know the protocol well enough. It could be that other instances pull your comment from beehaw. It could also be that other instances pull your comment from your instance.

Beehaw decided to stop pulling. In the first scenario the only people that see your comment are people on your instance. In the second scenario your comment appears everywhere except in beehaw itself.
