Would this mean that there'll be no access to communities on Beehaw?
Could someone list the popular communities in Beehaw and their alternatives on other instances?
I think that'd be useful.

Maybe making an account in a big instance is not that great of an idea after all. What benefit does it actually have?
There's a possible future where major fediverse sites switch to whitelisted federation to deal with spam etc. At that point, your small instance would have to petition all the major players to be let in. That would probably kill off most small instances.

big instances are more likely to stay up. smaller instances may just be some random user who might not be as interested in maintaining the site and may end up closing it. this happened to me when I used mastodon, I joined a smaller instance and they ended up shutting down.

it's extremely useful to newbies and less tech-savvy people who don't know how to find communities on other instances

at the current moment when federation is still a bit wonky due to the influx of new members, it's good to have the bulk of content you want to see be on your own instance. I can't login to lemmy.world, but I can log into kbin. But until recently I was only able to see posts 5 hours old on other instances from kbin.

Can't bothered beehaw users just simply block the instances they don't like by themselfes? Does this have to be instance-wide?

Do subscribed users from the blocked instances still count against their communities' totals?

It‘s the bubble concept I already curated for myself on Reddit by filtering out what feels like half the website. Except now I can sort of choose my pre-made bubble, which is more effort to be certain (have to research the admins of a chosen instance a bit and understand their rules and values), but I don‘t mind that.
Ok so which instance is not slow and still has access to most content?

I think it's actually Beehaw
I was really enjoying some of Beehaw's communities... Can TheDude request a re-federation?
