Can I get a ELI5 or a source or something?
If you make an account on beehaw you cant see anything from lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works. Same in the opposite direction.
And what happens if users from lemmy.world were already following beehaw communities?
As far as I know the content is duplicated on each server federated, on demand by users requesting content. My guess is that the content will be frozen on the defederation date. Your server won't be able to read, or maybe read, but certainly not write to the other server, and the conversations there will happen without you.
sh.itjust.works user checking in, my experience seems to confirm that theory. I can still see content from beehaw that I'm subscribed to from before they defederated.
I'll upvote myself then.
