I’m aware of some stuff like that some instances have defederated from others for anti-communism (lemmy.world / hexbear.net), but that’s where my knowledge ends.
I’m looking to understand what instances to be aware of, each instances’ political leaning, defederation etc.
Hexbear.net as a domain expired without paying to renew it, though this was resolved and Hexbear is back online.
So basically the Lemmy instance was inaccessible because or it, even if it was still running?
And I’m assuming that the users were also unable to log into Lemmy as a whole using their account, but for other fedefated instances you could still access posts from hexbear?
Hexbear fell back to chapo.chat for a period. Others could view old Hexbear posts, but federation broke until it was resolved. The domain is fixed and Hexbear is federated again.
