Except the one from Meta? So the comment thread would have an empty spot or something?
There wouldn't be an empty spot, your instance would never know that comment was there to begin with. You would be able to see it if you clicked through to the other instance of course.
Ok, but I am talking about a nested comment structure right? So the Meta user comments on a post/comment of misguided.ml, and then misguided.ml users comment again on that comment.
If I don't see the Meta comment in the middle, the conversation would be quite weird to me? I would see people respond to something I don't see?
I believe how it works is the comment from the user on the defederated instance and ALL child comments of it do not show up on your instance. So it’s as if that conversation just stopped after the last person from an instance that you’re federated with commented. You wouldn’t see anything from defederated commenters or the replies to them, even if they are replies from Instances you’re still federated with.
Login to Beehaw and check out a post from a Lemmy.ml community on it, and then look at that same post while logged into Lemmy.world and you should see the differences - because Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world.
