    Bummer :( bad actors ruining it for everyone.

    So what does this mean for lemmy.world users? Can we still seamlessly see beehaw communities but not post/comment?

    As for beehaw users, I assume we and our communities simply do not exist, right?

      we can still see and interact with both. Ernest has not defederated with them at this time so we should have few issues. As a community on this instance we need to use this platform in good faith to assure we arent banned/defederated with

        When you say “we” do you mean lemmy.world folks? I see you’re from kbin 🤔 who is Ernest?

          ernest@kbin.social is the creator of kbin and admin of kbin.social

          And yes that user probably thought the comment above them was also on kbin

          I think they meant kbin. We only just started seeing federated posting, so it’s catching lots of us by surprise when people are responding from, and about, other instances.

          The others read it right. I thought you were from kbin when I commented. So yes now that beehaw split from lemmy.world you can’t see (or maybe it is just interacting with) any of their content from your current instance.

            So I did some experimenting. Maybe the defederation hasn’t happened yet because I just commented on a post in beehaw’s technology community. I was also able to see beehaw posts in my search results and also requested to subscribe to one of their communities.

          is the sign up process on lemmy “unvetted”? can you just make an account? here you have to sign up with email and verify it within 1 hour or it won’t work until Ernest allows it lol

          You could imagine people abusing unvetted sign ups to troll or whatever

            I can’t speak for other instances, but Beehaw requires a convincing explanation of why you feel that you are right for Beehaw and Beehaw is right for you.

              “convincing” is a stretch. I wrote like 2 fluff lines about nothing and they approved the account.
              It’s kind of silly to think that a bunch of trolls couldn’t do the same and join the site very easily. They’re essentially trusting their users to pinky promise to tel the truth on the application lol.

                Even this requirement is enough to deter what I imagine is the vast amount of trolls. If people act up after being approved, they get banned.

              Huh, interesting. Kbin.social just required an email confirmation.

              So they’re manually approving each user at beehaw then? That explains why their communities seemed small. They’re managing ongoing mod work by having a much higher initial workload. Neat!

            Depends on the instance, as far as I know. Some require a short written intro, some require email verification, some let you sign up without even an email.

      The content of an instance is copied to another instance as soon as users request it and if both instances are federated

      As for beehaw users, I assume we and our communities simply do not exist, right?

      Don’t say “we”. We don’t know who you are unless we hover on your username and I guess mobile users cannot even do it anyway.
