If I'm not mistaken, you can see the posts and can even comment, but only people on lemmy.world will see your comment. People from beehaw and other instances won't see it. That's because lemmy.world haven't defederated from beehaw.

More info here: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/24341/How-the-beehaw-defederation-affects-us

You can see which instances are blocked here: https://beehaw.org/instances. It's in the bottom of the page of every instance home page or just add '/instance' after the instance's address.

I'm new to this. I have one question. Imagine the following setup:

  • Instance A federates with instances B and C
  • Instance B only federates with instance C
  • Instance C federates with instance A and B

Following scenario:

  • Someone on instance B posts something and writes a comment to the post
  • I'm on instance A and I comment on his comment
  • Now someone from instance C comments on my comment

What does a person from instance B see now? I assume he won't see my comment as instance B defederated instance A. But he should see the comment from the instance C guy. But how can he see the reply when the original comment is not visible?

Honestly I'm not sure, I'm also quite new to the fediverse. My guess is that being a parent comment, B wouldn't see it, but if C was the parent and A the child comment, B would see only C.

Someone else explained this pretty well in an answer. If that guy is correct neither users from instance B nor C will see the comment from the A instance user. This is because the post is hosted on instance B. And A-B are not federated (because of the block from B's side). This causes the comments from A to not be synched with B and therefore also not with C by proxy.
