Quick guide on usage, for example beehaw.org, beehaw.org is in the orange bubble and therefore is federated to all instances in the orange bubble. Equivilantly, lemmy.ml is in both the orange and the red bubbles, and therefore is federated to all instances in both bubbles. Mocked up in ms paint ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Sorry for the noob question but does this mean that a lemmy.one user can not subscribe to, for instance, [email protected] or just they will not see it in "all"?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am under the impression that Lemmy.one users cannot subscribe or see it

Thanks, I guess it's not the end of the world. Nothing that says I can't create an account on the other side of the federation once things settle down a bit.

You may have seen this already but this might interest you: Lemmymap

Is there any particular reason lemmy.one isn't federated with lemmygrad.ml?

Far left tankies. Big accusations of genocide denial etc....

Ah gotcha, thanks!

So if I get this right, from your body description: An instance A that is federated to another instance B will itself forward on that content from B to all instances federated with A, even if all other instances intentionally block federation to B? Or does federation only work instance-to-instance and is not relayed via 3rd party instances. Still learning the fediverse technicals right now.

Its not relayed, for example, on lemmy.one I can't see content shared by lemmygrad users, or see any of lemmygrad communities. Despite the fact that we are federated to lemmy.ml which is federated with lemmygrad.
