To kind of answer one of my own questions after rereading all the comments here, defederation seems to be per-instance, not from everywhere.
So picking a smaller, well run, non-controversial instance for you account can be an advantage, as you should be connected to everywhere.
The risk seems to be that smaller instances have a higher risk of shutting down unexpectedly and/or not being as well maintained (updates, security etc).
But I still see some posts at eg gaming@beehaw.org from lemmy.world. And comments and votes. But maybe 20% of what I see if I’m looking from my beehaw account.
Could these be crossposts and comments from non-beehaw users? Ie stuff that hasn’t originated at beehaw?
I appreciate the explanation, and I understand exactly what you’re saying. My confusion though is that it doesn’t match what I’m seeing. I’m using the Voyager web app if that makes a difference.
An example: I can see posts and comments at gaming@beehaw.org from lemmy.world. So I don’t see a wasteland. I just see a smaller number of and different posts, compared to looking at the same sub from beehaw.org. It’s the same place, looking at the sidebar. Just that different content appears to be available depending on the home location gaming viewed from.
Could it be that what I’m seeing from lemmy.world are just the crossposts (if such a thing exists here)? And perhaps comments from non-beehaw.org users? That’s why it’s not total empty, just reduced?
Also: when an instance defederates, is that from everywhere or just selected instances? For example, what you’re saying is that beehaw is blocking lemmy.world but not other smaller instances. And so I should sign up at a smaller non-blocked instance which will then see everything …?
Appreciate the explanation. Let me see if I understand. Beehaw defederated, which means you can stay in the beehaw bubble and never have to connect with/put up with the outside lemmy-verse.
Whereas from lemmy.world, all content is viewable, including beehaw …?
If that’s the case I might stick with my lemmy.world account as I can see more of the fediverse from there.
Doesn’t defederated mean cut off? Because I certainly get beehaw content at lemmy.world. Just when sorting by “hot” seems different. Then averaged over a bunch of subs, my home feed is quite different.
Anyway 🤷♂️
I recently signed up and didn’t know where to park myself. So I got accounts on both lemmy.world and beehaw.org.
From lemmy.world I’ve added to a few of the beehaw subs that I’m subscribed to there. But I can tell you I see different content in my lemmy.world feed.
Don’t know why. A delay in the content making it over from beehaw to lemmy? But my home feed certainly looks different in both (even subscribing as closely is I can to the same feeds).
So for now I’ll stick with both and see how the dust settles.
I think most of us would like the possibility that WE can travel between the stars, not some incredibly disconnected OTHER.
For example, I would like to see Niagara Falls, not send someone there that I’ll never ever connect with again.
But will he survive the rental market and high Woolies prices?
How different is it from 3? There were a lot of complaints when it first came out. But I was wondering how much of that was just people being a bit overzealous.
Good bot
I too would like to contribute to Reddit’s bot overthrow by selling my 12 yr old account to the highest bidder. PM me your $$s.
Ready for their international flight ✈️
Ug that sucks.
For the data point, I don’t have that issue. Not sure what the difference is. I’m using an iPhone 12 mini and iOS updated to the latest. Voyager works really well for me. Remarkably well.
Clearly it’s a problem many are having based on the upvotes. Hope it can be fixed.
What scrolling issue? The missing top-tap scroll-to-top functionality?
Atmospheric 🔥
Looks good. Happy with it?
Understood. Thanks.
Aah sorry! Just joined and trying to figure it all out. Appreciate the clarification.
Anyone know if kbin.social should work as well? Given beehaw.org does.
I get an error there as well. But again, don’t know if that’s just a temporary unstable server or a permanent incompatibility.
Got it. Thanks for explaining!
