Thanks. Yes, it does appear we are in read only. I guess I'll just simplify this and not subscibe to any beehaw communities.

I think the whole defederation thing is extremely unclear snd confusing. I think better documentation needs to be made to clearly show what we will and will not see when defederated by another instance. I don't think it's clear at all. I've asked this question like 10 times and received 10 different answers

The admin post makes it sound like we should ONLY see lemmy.world users, since the 'original' is located on beehaw, and beehaw has defederated us.

Using Beehaw's /c/gaming community as an example: Can someone please explain why I am still able to view this community and even see new posts? I also saw a few posts from beehaw users themselves in the last day. According to the explanation from the admins, I should be able to see posts in /c/gaming ONLY from other lemmy.world users, however that does not appear to be the case. I am seeing content from other instances, including beehaw. Can someone explain?

I read the explanation for defederation like 20 times and I still don't understand. It is incredibly confusing so if someone could explain this properly, that would be great. Thanks!

The thing I’m confused about is whether or not we should be seeing posts from anyone on /c/gaming @beehaw.org (as an example) that’s not from lemmy.world. Does that make sense? According to the admin’s post here, we shouldn’t, however I am still seeing a few posts that look new. Is this due to the caching issues? Because I’m definitely not seeing ALL of the new posts, just a handful. This is what i cannot seem to get a straight answer on. The below says no, however I definitely am 100% seeing posts from non-lemmy.world users on /c/[email protected]

“This won’t ever stop. You’ll notice that all posts after defederation are only from lemmy.world users. You won’t see posts/comments from ANY other instance (including instances that ) on beehaw.org communities. Those communities will quickly suck for us, as we’re only talking to other lemmy.world users. Your posts/comments are not being sent to any other lemmy. I highly recommend just unsubscribing from those communities, since they’re pretty pointless for us to be in right now.”

We were given a Dyson Sphere Vacuum as a wedding present.

If you are getting it for local playback (i.e. Plex), get a Zidoo Z9x or something along those lines. You'll have way less headaches, I promise you.

Plex is becoming more and more of a pain in the ass. The company is trying to push everyone to get a plex pass and I suspect it probably won't even be free for too much longer. This is just based on recent changes and where I see the software going. To top it all off, Plex on Android is by far the worst thing on the fucking planet. Every other update breaks basic functionailty.

So yea, do yourself a favor and just get something like a Zidoo. It's the same price as a 2019 shield pro anyway. Just note that a Zidoo isn't for streaming. It's for local playback only.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the Shield has incorrect colors for Dolby Vision Profile 7 (blu ray format). So if you are playing those, then definitely DO NOT get the Shield.

Wait this directly contradicts what I was told in my below post. I'm still seeing some (not all) new posts from Beehaw. I used /c/[email protected] as an example.

I see, thank you!

Yes, absolutely. I think smaller niche communities should be encouraged whenever possible.

 

Like the post title says. I though I read that each Instance keeps a public list of who its defederated with. Is this true?
