Since my last post yesterday, lemmy.world has added over 3000 new users, bringing the total user count to 22000 today (source: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). It firmly holds the position of the second-largest lemmy instance, passing beehaw.org by a large margin of 10000 users.
In other news, beehaw has defederated from lemmy.world a few hours ago. How does the third-largest instance only have 4 mods admins for its 12000 users?!
So much going on!
People outside beehaw can still comment there and people inside beehaw would still see these comments.

Now that BeeHaw has defederated, they won’t see any comments from lemmy.world/shitjustworks users in their own communities.
If they kept federation, those users would be able to comment on beehaw.org communities.
Sorry for the confusion, I meant that, if they didn’t defederate and their users just kept on their ‘local’ feed, they’d still see outside comments.
