That isn’t 100%. Instances can be blocked from federating. For instance if you are on lemmy.world you are no longer getting beehive posts because beehive disabled federation with lemmy.world

I think kbin has the best interface and I am hoping they get “multireddits” implemented soon so you can combine communities from multiple servers into a single view

I've been wondering. What does defederation do exactly? Does it only block posting from the defederated instance or does it block both posting and browsing too?

Blocking interactions would be understandable but also blocking read-only subscriptions seem like a mistake.

It's like a traditional social media block but for whole servers. Basically it totally severs the federation between the instances, making it look to each other like they never existed.

That's unfortunate. Hurray for RSS I guess.
