Hey jas sh.itjust.works actually been defederated with many major instances yet or are there just murmurs? I'm confused what happens because I'm on lemmy.ml and I still see sh.itjust.works content, but then I'm actively subscribed to some communities there. My understanding with defederation is that you no longer see anything from a given instance in the "all" section vs the "local" section (where you only have seen stuff from your home instance anyway). That makes sense, but what about my subscriptions. If I'm actively subscribed do I still get content from defederated instances or is that all just gone?
No no, nothing happened. It was all angry discussion by crowds who didn't know anything. The problems were solved very fast and no one ended up unhappy except for the troll.
It sucks because Sh.itjustworks is generally a pretty good place, people trying some good things like the Agora. Then I take a look a few minutes later and it's like the Donald Glover pizza meme all over again.
Some peeps don't appreciate the good stuff in life. Gotta make it all about their deeply ingrained political beliefs, and bring down anything that slightly challenges them. As someone in the original thread implied, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Thank God
👌
No, the whole point of defed is that your home instance stops "listening" to the updates of the defederated instance. So you'd stop getting updates from any community hosted on @sh.itjust.works period.
Not only that. Had lemmy.ml defederated sh.itjust.works, users of lemmy.ml also wouldn't see comments from sh.itjust.works members on any other instance.
I think beehaw is the only major group that actually defederated us, but that was before the drama
If this defederation thing takes hold on the Lemmy network like it did the activitypub network then there's no point in switching to this from Reddit, and it'll just become small unconnected forums anyway.
Now you only see the “local” copy of those subs. People in your instance can post links to it but you won’t see anything other non federated instances.
