    Digging about (the challenge of trying to find a post on beehaw where I know that EH users have posted and looking at the differences)…

    Fortunately, this post thread is - https://beehaw.org/post/7092697 - and you are indeed correct that the EH comments don’t display.

    I’ve updated my mental model of how the federation works… though this is moderately surprising suggesting that the federation isn’t just a “do we accept messages from X” but also an active filtering of posts from other instances to check to see if the origin instance of the action by way of the other instance is also not federated.

    It would be curious to see (I can’t and don’t expect to get a report of… still would be curious) if, as an admin, are users from a given instance continuing to interact with others on this instance with a similar style as they do on their own instance. Even if the other instances wouldn’t see the followup comment because of defederation it still can set a tone for a /c/ that takes active moderation to resolve.
