As this instance just got defederated from beehaw.org, I would definitely say so since that's a massive pain, creating multiple accounts for one service just because some other members posted spam is really annoying.
Why can I still see Beehaw posts though?
You can see their content, but they wont see anything you contribute to it. I just unsubscribed from any beehaw communities so I stop seeing them.
Basically, we now have a local, frozen in time copy of the old beehaw communities on this instance, that will not sync with any other instance anymore since the main instance of that community is no longer talking to this instance. You can still make posts and comments on there, but the only people seeing them will be other lemmy.world users.
Wow, I didn't know defederation was a thing until reading the comments in this post. In that case, I agree with the OP that not leading with federation when promoting Lemmy is probably the best.
