With the defederation active, how has it affected your subscriptions?
Now that we're no longer linked to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works we can't subscribe to their communities any more.
How affected were your subscriptions? How many of your subs stopped working?
My subs were mostly beehaw and lemmy.world so I'm looking for new stuff. :)
Do you have some tips for interesteing communities on other instances?

Run your own instance and it becomes irrelevant.
Honestly, I wish this wasn't necessary. This is the worst thing about federation, in my opinion - inter-instance politics results in one instance admin defederating from another and all of the users of that instance, who may have no knowledge of nor care about the reason for the defederation, have all of their subscriptions disrupted. It'd be nice if it didn't remove already-subscribed communities, and instead just prevented them from showing up to other users under the Communities list / in the 'All' list.
It'll be okay once the mod tools are improved.
