Lemmy.world users: Notice who posted this?

Yes, its a https://beehaw.org user, posting to [email protected].

Despite the defederation, we still get beehaw.org users posts and comments. We just got to go through 3rd party services now (such as lemmy.ml) to talk or interact with beehaw.org users.

We're cutoff, but not really. I think this post deserves a "Best of" since its one of the clearest examples of how Defederation works in practice. Its not as bad as #RedditBlackout users seem to think it is.

that's a beehaw user posting to lemmy.ml. beehaw didn't defederate from lemmy.ml, so you can see their posts on lemmy.ml.

Edit: notably beehaw can't see lemmy.world users posting to lemmy.ml, so they can't see your comments/replies/threads/etc.
