Can Lemmy World subscribe to beehaw subs?
I noticed that when I attempt to subscribe to beehaw subs, it seems to be stuck on pending. This has been the case for a couple hours now. Is this expected behavior? I think I read somewhere that beehaw was defederating. Perhaps this is the reason it's not working?
Not anymore, at least for (an unspecified) while. See https://lemmy.world/post/149743.
In short, beehaw is having trouble moderating there communities, and defederated several of the biggest Lemmy instances just to cut down on moderation volume. It's was an incredibly short-sighted thing to do, and will make the lemmyverse a much more confusing place for the foreseeable future, but it's within their power to do.
Yeah, you won't be able to. Basically, lemmy.world won't be able to see new posts on beehaw, and vice versa.
Except I can see a new post from Beehaw. I'm having a conversation with somebody on a Beehaw community right now.
It seems the catch here may be that they are a Mastodon user. I guess Beehaw is still federated with their instance and so are we, so I can still see their content as if it were from Beehaw and we can comment to each other there!? But I guess if any Beehaw users join in, I'll not be able to see their comments and they'll not be able to see mine?
It's quite odd, interesting and confusing.
You can. It took me a day to be subscribed to [email protected], don't know if it's how it's supposed to be. EDIT: okay just checked again, what I said was bullshit. I'm actually still on "subscribe pending" but I can see their threads on my timeline.
That was before beehaw and lemmy.world were defederated.
yup I was wrong, I'm still on "subscribe pending" but I do see their threads on my timeline now
not right now, though Beehaw said that they were open to refederating when better mod tools for Lemmy show up
y'all were blocked yesterday so no.
