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!

Nah, de-federation means they won't be seeing anything from lemmy.world on:

local posts
lemmy.world posts

They will still see lemmy.world comments on other instances, but lemmy.world posts won't appear on the ALL sorting.

In the same way lemmy.world won't be able to see beehaw posts.

Basically,

local only concerns posts that have been submitted on beehaw communities
All concerns posts submitted on any instance that is federated and to which at least one user on the instance is subbed to.
