I’ve seen that some instances have already done it preemptively.

As soon as one defederates the other, all communication between them stops, afaik. The content isn’t federated in either direction.
Edit: I might be somewhat wrong, since there are a few posts by users from other instances, but it’s only a few, almost all posts and comments aren’t available. I dont know what’s going on here, disregard what I said.
Yeah I don’t claim to understand this fully either but I’ve learned that the best way to get right answer for something on the internet is to say something that’s wrong and so far people don’t seem to be rushing to tell me I’m wrong at this so I think I have it somewhat right. I don’t know which instances defederate with mine so I can’t really explore it further
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !technology@lemmy.world, !lemmyworld@beehaw.org
