A question about defederation (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

13 comments fedilink hide all child comments

say there are three instances, A, B and C. if A is not federated with B, users from those two instances can't interact (right ?) but what if both are federated with C ? would both indirectly be able to interact ? if there is a post on instance C and a user from B comments on it, would that comment be visible on all three instances ?

Wait, so if I am from A and comment on a post on B and a user@c from C (which A has defedrated) comments on my comment, I get a message/notification indirectly from user@c via B?

So defederation blocks direct interaction but not discourse on "neutral ground (B in this case)"?

Nevermind, see my edit - I was wrong.

I see, thanks for testing it, I'm a bit disappointed though (with lemmy, I mean)

Honestly, I don't like this either. It's definitely unfortunate.
