And as if to illustrate my point, Beehaw is no longer federated with Lemmy.world, so @mountainmycelium@beehaw.org won't be getting updates to this thread any more.
Yeah I just read that news and thought of this comment trail! My description did not age well.
Hopefully this is just due to sudden and rapid uptake of users to the fediverse and not something that happens regular once things have settled down a little.
Yeah, it's not immediately obvious what the implications of an account on a particular instance are. I think over time it should become more obvious, for example meta data about instances on lemmy instance directory sites, so users know what they're signing up for. I also think things will settle down as communities find an instance that works for them, and tools improve for more granular control over federation.
