    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?

        Anyone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that the way it works is if instance A defederates B, then users in A won’t be able to see posts made in A by users of B. Users of B will continue to see content in A, even reply to topics, it’s just that users of A will never see them.
