    You don’t need to do all that, you only need one account as they are all federated, meaning they can talk to each other.

    The exemption is beehaw, because they are defederating temporarily to put less strain on the servers

      It’s not about the servers, it’s about moderation. They have a clear vision of what their instance should be like but they don’t have the tools not moderators to make it so while getting traffic from other big instances

        in the future when they possibly have more moderators and the influx of users has slowed down on lemmy.world, would it be easy to federate again? i know many instances defederate from others that go against their beliefs or how they want to run the community, but ive not heard of any that have re-federated

          I saw a post by one of the lemmy.world admins who said they had a discussion with the beehaw admins and their ideals align enough that they think they will federate again once moderation has gotten under control.

          Edit: it was actually the sh.itjust.works admin

          Edit 2: here’s the link to the post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/129725

          Not to be too much of a pedant, but I think the messaging is important: it’s not about how many moderators, it’s about moderation tools. Lemmy’s are a little too rudimentary for what they want.

          Anyway, refederation would entail taking lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works off their blocklist. That would allow users on those instances to subscribe again and comment/post. That part would be user-initiated. Then on the Beehaw side, they’d have to subscribe again to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works communities. That part would also be user-initiated.

          This is hearsay, but I believe it is temporary until better moderation features are developed and user influx shows down.
