That’s confusing. Let’s say that there is antance A, B and C. (Instance A is Beehaw) Now let’s say A bans C, but not B. And B hasn’t banned anyone. That would mean instance A would still see the comments of C, when replying to B, right? If so, people from Instance A would feel like they are being gaslit more then people blocked from instance C.
My understanding is that Lemmy isn’t peer-to-peer, it’s more like hub-and-spoke, relative to the instance that the community is on.
So if users on B and C are interacting with a post on A, then it’s the responsibility of A to be the postman and handle the syncing between A<>B and A<>C; B and C don’t directly talk in this case.
Thus, nobody outside of Lemmyworld sees posts from Lemmyworld, because Beehaw doesn’t accept them, and therefore doesn’t pass them along to the other instances, either.

Not quite. So imagine each Lemmy instance is a post office, responsible for receiving mail from other instances on your behalf, and also responsible for sending your mail to other instances.
The post office (instance) that matters is the one where the thread is taking place. When you write a message on a thread - if the thread is on your home instance, great! No outbound mail. If it’s not, your post office (instance) will send your mail across the fediverse to the instance where the thread actually lives, and the receiving instance adds it to the thread.
Likewise, when users reply to you, their instances mail their replies to the instance where the thread lives; the thread’s instance is then responsible for re-forwarding their mail to you.
In this case, Beehaw has unilaterally decided not to accept mail from, or deliver mail to, Lemmyworld. So your experience varies based on which is your home instance, and which instance you’re interacting with.
So exploring it by example, let’s consider we have three instances: Beehaw, Lemmy.world, and (shameless plug) my adorable little home instance of federate.cc, which is federated with both of the above (and is accepting membership applications by the way!)
If the thread lives on Beehaw, and you are a member of…
Beehaw, then you can interact with the post (it’s your home instance), but you won’t see any replies from Lemmyworld users (your post office is refusing to accept letters from them)
Lemmyworld, you probably won’t be able to see the thread at all (Beehaw refused to deliver it to their post office) - but if by some chance you can, you won’t see any comments by Beehaw users (Beehaw refuses to deliver them to the Lemmyworld post office)
federate.cc, then you will be able to interact with the post (Beehaw delivers mail to our post office), but you won’t see any replies from Lemmyworld users (Beehaw refuses to accept mail from Lemmyworld users, and by extension refuses to deliver their mail to our post office)
If the thread lives on Lemmyworld, and you are a member of…
Beehaw, you probably won’t be able to see the thread at all (Beehaw refused to accept the mail from Lemmyworld, returning it to sender) - but if by some chance you can, you won’t see any comments by Lemmyworld users (Beehaw refuses to accept mail from Lemmyworld, returning it to sender)
Lemmyworld, then you can interact with the post (it’s your home instance), but you won’t see any replies from Beehaw users (their post office refuses to deliver letters to yours)
federate.cc, then you will be able to interact with the post, but you probably won’t see any replies from Beehaw users (Beehaw’s post office refuses to deliver mail addressed to Lemmyworld)
If the thread lives on federate.cc, and you are a member of…
Beehaw, you will be able to see and interact with the thread, since Beehaw’s post office both sends and receives mail from federate.cc; but you won’t see any messages from Lemmyworld users, because Beehaw’s post office will refuse mail that originated at Lemmyworld; when we try to forward that mail to Beehaw’s post office, it will be refused and returned to sender.
Lemmyworld, you will be able to see and interact with the thread, since Lemmyworld’s post office both sends and receives mail from federate.cc; you will see messages from Beehaw users, because Beehaw’s post office will deliver mail to ours; but if you interact with them at all, they will never see it, because Beehaw will reject mail that originated at Lemmyworld (see above).
federate.cc, then you will be able to interact with the post as normal, you will see replies from people at all three instances, and they will see yours
Phew! How confusing. A far better solution would be… don’t defederate, splitting the community!

Had some friends round last night. Watched the boxing and got drunk. Went to bed about 2am. Cat woke me up about 7 demanding food! Meows louder than an air raid siren. Climbed back in to bed now and browsing Lemmy. Been a busy week so just catching up with the latest posts.
Burnout is definitely a thing. Try cutting back, taking a break or switching genres. Dust off that real-time strategy that’s been gathering dust in your library, or try something completely new. Take care of yourself my guy.
Apps have a few advantages not the least of which are Push notifications, individualised UIs, additional functionality like swipe to upvote etc. Webapps are ok, native Applications in General just have greater flexibility and access to more features of your Smartphone.
My biggest gripe using the browser was the constant auto-refresh. I’m using wefwef which has better functionality and looks way nicer, feels more like a ‘Reddit’ experience.
Hmm it says “Image was not found, might be deleted”, so I was wondering if you used the wrong link (not the public one). Ah well, could be server issues I guess yeah.
In french, “ça touche pas ça touche, ça touche ça touche pas” is a common riddle. You ask the person to guess what “it” is in “‘it doesn’t touch’ touches, ‘it touches’ doesn’t” (of course this doesn’t work in English but it does in french due to the usage of ‘pas’ for ‘doesn’t’). They may then ask you if various things touch or not. The game may go on for several hours as the guesser tries to guess objects, animals, concepts before they get that it is about whether or not your lips touch.
A common occurence is the guesser gives up, and whatever phrase they use to indicate that is just interpreted as another guess by the riddler: “I give up! -‘I give up’ touches.”
Probably just a matter of days or hours. Infinity for Reddit is still working in the developer percent it'll be available for a couple days. I'm not sure the exact logistics of why but for some reason it seems that some people that are pivoting into a paid subscription model are able to stomach a few days
