beehaw.org blocked lemmy.world. which works like you'd expect blocking someone would work. they can't interact with each other, can't participate in each other's communities, etc.
So why do I still see posts from them in my subscribed feed?
lemmy.world still "has" content from beehaw before the block happened. you can still see it and interact with it, but anything you do on beehaw communities that you have copies of won't get synced to beehaw, and thus can't be seen by anyone else on the fediverse.
you shouldn't be getting new posts from beehaw at all, other than comments inside of non-beehaw communities (such as in a kbin magazine where a beehaw user comments).
I get a lot of new still from beehaw
yeah that's definitely odd. I wonder if lemmy.world is getting the content from a different federated instance?
can you post in the thread? and if so, can beehaw users respond to you? I wonder what's up...
Yeah, this has made it super confusing to me as a new user this week, because I thought that if beehaw defederated from us, we just wouldn't see them, but the community has a bunch of beehaw stuff, and I was subscribing to them in ignorance. There needs to be some way for new users to be informed of this, or the communities to not show up if they're just going to be crippled for us.
I could up vote, so I’d assume I can post as well. Now, I don’t have a purpose for commenting. But like you said. It’s odd.
I have many of these posts from Beehaw still in my feed. 🤔
yeah you should be able to post to it and upvote and such, but it's unclear whether that gets sent to anyone other than lemmy.world users.
Right. Gotcha! Thanks.
Well that's annoying, I was enjoying a lot of beehaw content and they never approved my registration application.
Anyone know of the next biggest instance that federates with them?
kbin.social is pretty nice, though not nearly as big. I have an account there and it's enjoyable. The UI is better in some aspects, worse in others.
You can also see the instances beehaw federates with and choose your own here:

Interesting that in that list are sites like skinheads.uk
That's because it's a punk music site. I can't say what type of people they are because I don't fit their server (into specific punk types, from UK, Australia or NZ, among others), so I'm not even gonna try to join. For the most part, punk skinheads are alright. I've know quite a few in my life and they weren't racist a bit. Not to say there aren't racist skinheads, but from my experience the majority are not racist and anti-fascist. I've even been to a couple of punk shows and the crowd was wild but there weren't any assholes as I saw, but again, that's only my experience.
Thanks for the info. I was just scrolling through all the server names and that caught my eye. I was also amazed at the sheer number of servers listed. Some of these federated servers must have only a handful of users (if not just 1).
It's understandable racist skinheads ruin it for everyone. Dead Kennedys even wrong a song for them, nazi punks fuck off.

As for the servers, there are quite a few that are personal servers for themselves, friends and/or family, or specific hobbies. It's one of my favorite things about the fediverse. Anyone can create an instance for whatever they choose. It's great.
