    It’s shocking how few users you really need to have a great community, and how quickly it stops mattering what other platforms are doing when you have that.

      Exactly. On reddit I’d probably type out this comment, see that the post is X hours old or see that there are already 5000 replies and think “meh, no one will see this anyway. Best case scenario I get an upvote or two”. But here I feel like I’m part of a conversation and actually contributing something.

    It makes no sense to show beehaw in that, they federated from the rest, they are just a forum and not part of any threadiverse.

      Beehaw’s still federated with several instances. Just not lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

      They’re federated with kbin.social, at least as of an hour ago.

        Dumb question, but how were you able to determine that? Was it just a matter of seeing a post that originated from there (which would be my clumsy approach), or is there a tool/site that facilitates this?

          The list of which sites they’re actively federating with, and which they’ve actively blocked, is public (and is public on any Lemmy-based site): https://beehaw.org/instances

          For the record: They’re still still federating with kbin.social. And they’re still federating with lemmy.ml. Most of the block list is made up of well known shit-disturbing Mastodon instances.

      Beehaw didn’t defederate from everyone else, just from two instances. the threadiverse and the fediverse are much more bigger than these two servers.

        So, in case we have to take a side, would you rather get banned from Beehaw, or from Lemmy World?

          You mean if the instance I’m in defederated from one of them?

          Well, I have a Beehaw account, so even if this server and Beehaw defederated, I’ll still have access to Beehaw-hosted content. Also, I tend to not participate in Beehaw communities from my kbin account.

          I don’t care much about Lemmy World, my kbin instance (this one, the one I’m registered in) federates with it, cool, but I wouldn’t be angry if it didn’t.

          I wouldn’t care either way.

          But, there’s no actual risk of Beehaw defederating from any Kbin instance nor did the admins cut federation completely. People are making this issue way bigger than it actually is.
