It's essentially like email. If you have a gmail, you can communicate with anyone on any other email service. If gmail determines that spamsite.xyz, you won't send or recieve any emails from that domain. Same thing here. You're using lemmy.world. If lemmy.world defederates with my server sh.itjust.works, you won't see my messages. We will just never cross paths.

    What if someone from lemmy.world makes a comment, and someone from lemmy.ca replies to the comment?

    Would someone from sh.itjust.works see the reply to the original comment but not the original comment? Or is the whole thread after that point non-existent after that point?

    hmm...that seems super counterintuitive to what I thought the fediverse was all about. That would be like Gmail just deciding all Yahoo emails are spam. doesn't this mean that Lemmy will just be a bunch of islands of content that will require users to have multiple accounts for each instance?

    If everyone plays nice, you get to have really big islands. But that's only if your overlords (the mods) allow it. If they don't like an instance, see ya! I don't think this happens often other than blocking spam and illegal activity, but you can clearly see how this will make all the mini islands.
