I made two posts on !anime@lemmy.ml, neither are visible on both instances lemmy.ml are recommending.
beehaw.org has already become a much bigger instance and they ban lemmygrad, we're already invisible to half the people using lemmy.
It will keep getting worse, at some point you'll need to maintain two separate instance accounts and you'll consider dropping one of them.
I don't expect the radlibs that are joining beehaw.org to stay much longer after the Reddit blackout ends, the mentality they have of trying to bully out X political faction they don't like on lemmy.ml isn't healthy to building and maintaining any community. This time it's "tankies", next month it might be liberals who only buy 99% of the CIA narrative on [insert issue of the month here] instead of 100%.
Look at it positively comrades, growing our own community here only has benefits and hexbear.net might federate with us soon!
I hope the libs don't leave before Hexbear federates. I need to see the dunking.
I heard Hexbear is only going to federate with Lemmygrad. I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff - do you know if that means individual Hexbear users will still be able to post on other instances, and it just won't automatically show up on the all page for Hexbear users?
If two instances aren't federated, users of each can't interact with eachother. As to Hexbear's federation plans, from a bit of lurking it seems which instances they will federate with - if they do so at all - is up in the air.
Noooo!!!!
I'm assumimg here that one instance is blocking the other. If neither instances are blocking eachother but they're not federated yet either, users can federate by subscribing to community on the other instance.
