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 😭

    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.

      They are both federated. Thats why tchncs is in the orange bubble

      Just tchncs also links lemmygrad, which beehaw does not so tchncs is also in the red bubble as well

    Sorry for the noob question but does this mean that a lemmy.one user can not subscribe to, for instance, !space@lemmygrad.ml or just they will not see it in “all”?

      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.
