You don’t need multiple accounts, one account can access all different instances, including subscribing to remote communities. You just have to click “All” in the communities or post list to see them, instead of “Local”.
Except for beehaw.org defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, and I think some defederated from lemmygrad.ml.
Also it should be said that edited comments don’t seem to pass across the instances. I think they only sync when the comment has been made.
Did beehaw.org defederate from lemmy.world ? I’m on Lemmy world and see posts from beehaw. Is there a way to check who is federated with who like some kind of map?
If I’m not mistaken, you can see the posts and can even comment, but only people on lemmy.world will see your comment. People from beehaw and other instances won’t see it. That’s because lemmy.world haven’t defederated from beehaw.

You can see which instances are blocked here: https://beehaw.org/instances. It’s in the bottom of the page of every instance home page or just add ‘/instance’ after the instance’s address.
I’m new to this. I have one question. Imagine the following setup:
- Instance A federates with instances B and C
- Instance B only federates with instance C
- Instance C federates with instance A and B
Following scenario:
- Someone on instance B posts something and writes a comment to the post
- I’m on instance A and I comment on his comment
- Now someone from instance C comments on my comment
What does a person from instance B see now? I assume he won’t see my comment as instance B defederated instance A. But he should see the comment from the instance C guy. But how can he see the reply when the original comment is not visible?
