~~Yes, comments from users on instances A and B on a post on C are visible to users on all three instances. De/federation is a way for admins of a specific instance to control which users can interact with posts on their instance. Eg: beehaw defeds sh.itjust.works so users from sh.itjust.works cannot interact with posts on beehaw. Users from both instances can interact with each other on posts on lemmy.world though.~~
~~Edit: In reality, beehaw has defederated both sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world. In my theoretical example, only sh.itjust.works has been defederated.~~
EDIT: I actually tested it and I'm wrong! I logged into my beehaw alt account and came to this thread but I can't see this comment as it's from sh.itjust.works. Because my comment is hidden, I also couldn't see the thread attached to this comment section so the comment thread looked empty.
Sorry for confusion.
(except for that Beehaw is also defederated from lemmy.world)
Shit, bad choice of third instance... Who hasn't beehaw defederated?
Basically, every major instance that isn't sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world, lemmygrad.ml, or exploding-heads. They moderate in favor of "federate by default, defederate if it becomes a problem, refederate if the problem is addressed"
