I'm new here too, could someone explain the difference between Lemmy and Beehaw (and kbin which it looks like this is posted on?) and what it means that they're defederated?

beehaw.org is a Lemmy instance (server). kbin is a platform similar to Lemmy and it can federate with Lemmy instances, as well as integrate with them nicely (not the case with Mastodon and Lemmy/kbin). Defederation means cutting off ties with a certain instance. Beehaw defederated from sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world, which means that their users won't be able to see posts from these instances. On the other hand, members of sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world will be able to see beehaw's communities and posts, but can't post in them. A bit of a clusterfuck, I know.

I appreciate the explanation. Are there any good articles that run down the way this whole thing is organized?

IDK, I learned this allong the way (empirically). Try Google, might return something relevant. Try search terms like "fediverse defederate", things like that.
