From my understanding federation is having services be able to communicate with one another. If my understanding is wrong can you correct me or explain it further.
Also what is going on with defederating lemmy?
Thx

It basically cuts communication altogether, no posts comments or anything moves either way. With other fedi software like mastodon you can limit or suspend the domain of the other instance but I believe with Lemmy/kbin it’s all or nothing.
That’s just a limitation of the current implementation though, there is no reason it couldn’t be improved. When the admins explained their decision they mentioned that part of the reason for the blunt action is the lack of more fine grained tools.
It’s early days, tools will improve.
