    I’m still not sure what an instance is but I’ll sign up to some more of them if I can get more content.

      nope you wont. If you signed up at an instance that hasnt defederated like beehaw then you will be able to see almost anything.

        Yep, users registered @beehaw can’t see everything, but everybody else can see beehaw posts.

              They can normally if their instance is not defederatd.

              But if beehaw defederate some instance, only the one from their own instance can see and interact with their post.

              So for example, I have an account in lemmy.world and posting it to beehaw tech community. Other user from lemmy.world can see my post and reply normally. But other user from other instances (including beehaw itself) can’t even see the post.

              Basically like shadowban in reddit but for all users in an instance

      No that’s literally what you don’t need to do. You only need one account, your instance will talk to other instances to bring you content from the whole network, to your one account. That includes the ability to comment on it, and interact with, etc.
