Ok so beehaw.org defederated sh.itjust.works, and I post on lemmy.ml, they are unable to see what I post to lemmy.ml right?
This was discussed in the early days of federation and the consensus was that a block should be a hard-block as most likely the offending instance isn’t contributing in a good way on 3rd party communities either.
However it looks like the allow-list is less strict and lets comments from non-allowed instances through if they are on 3rd party communities. But I have not confirmed this myself.
if you check my other comment you’ll see i found this not to be the case and defed users are invisible even if on fed instances
I am talking about the allow-list and not the block-list in my second paragraph.
then idk.
I believe so. If I understood it correctly, you are really just commenting on a copy of the original post on sh.itjust.works so the original comment is on sh.itjust.works and needs to federate from there.
But I am likely wrong, so wait for someone else to respond.
I’m testing. In conclusion, it is not possible to see comments from defederated instances’ users on federated instances’ threads.
