Does the Defederation of lemmy.world With Beehaw Make It So That Beehaw Posts Will Not Show In My lemmy.world Feed?
Still somewhat new to fediverse stuff and trying to learn. Could someone explain this? Thanks!

Why doesn't lemmy.world read new posts from beehaw? The local users here wouldn't be able to send comments back to the beehaw version, but we could at least browse the posts, and even leave comments that other lemmy.world users could read.
Because beehaw will block sync attempts from lemmy.world. Users can't directly connect to other instances. The instance they're on connects with other instances and fetches data in the background.
just not the way it was originally coded i guess. Keep in mind, the beehaw admins intend to refederate with lemmy.world eventually. They are waiting until the moderator tools get a little better and they can handle the outer world. Last i heard, there was only like 4 mods on the whole instance.
As far as I know, lemmy.world doesn't read posts from beehaw.
Instead whenever someone posts on beehaw, beehaw is mean to send a copy to lemmy.world. This allows new content to appear (pretty much) instantly across the entire fediverse without servers asking each other "do you have any new stuff?" thousands of times per second.
Beehaw has stopped sending new posts to lemmy.world, and so they're not appearing here anymore. I'd guess lemmy.world still does send posts to beehaw - however that instance is ignoring them.
