yeah it’s still not super clear to me what defederating did. It’s confusing to me too because I still see the communities from beehaw, and some of them were really popular, so it’s easy for me to accidentally subscribe to one without realizing I might not be able to interact with those communities in ways I’m still unsure about.

You can still make comments to those communities on beehaw right? Just other fediverse servers can’t see your comments?? or something…
