The point of the fediverse is the federation. It's like going to a public meet up, and getting a handful of people to join your private meet up. They used the fediverse to help them grow, and once they were self sufficient they cut the rest of the community off.
Beehaw was here long before the fediverse was popular and long before the reddit disaster that sent people rushing to lemmy. Before reddit happened, they were one of the few active and successful lemmy instances that wasn't basically just a lone admin hosting a personal instance.
They didn't "use the fediverse to help them grow". They helped the fediverse grow when hardly anyone else was around.
it's like going to a party and then just hanging out in the kitchen. or spending the whole night out on the porch smokin cigs.
