2 as of today. My main is on BeeHaw, but I realized that some of the communities I wanted to follow were on defederated instances, so I signed up for programming.dev. I think I'm going to use it for the tech-related communities (plus anything defederated) and BeeHaw for the rest
what does it mean if a community is defederated? does that mean that community can only be accessed by the instance it is hosted on?
A specific instance (like BeeHaw) can defederate other instances. It's basically like blocking that instance so users on BeeHaw can't interact with that instance.
Similar but I started in Lemmy.ml. Then found programming.dev.
