Now that I (I think) understand federation I was going to unblock the beehaw communities since I should still be able to vote and comment on them but I can’t find them now.

    But don’t our comments stay in our copy of the thread, so in my case (as a .world user), other users from my instance would see my comments? No one else would, right?

      To add to this, yes, other lemmy.world users will see it, but if the post gets deleted over there for beehaw reasons, we wouldn’t know or have any say, it’d be gone if beehaw ever went down, OP will never be able to participate in discussions, posts made on beehaw that violate our rules will still make their way over here, and more. It’s just not a good fix. Let them be a splinter community and repost the links and images to your home instance or a relevant instance.
