After the defederating of Beehaw, I made an account on lemmy.world. Is it possible to sync the communities I was subscribed to on Beehaw with my new Lemmy.world account? Or do I have to do it manually?

    You can do it manually, but if you’re operating from your lemmy.world account Beehaw communities won’t update for you. You can only view what was posted before the defederation, if I’m understanding things correctly.

      You can view and even interact beehaw content. Your interactions on beehaw communities will only be visible to users of your instance tho

        Interesting, I’ll try playing around with it more. I was on quite a few Beehaw communities, and could only see posts from before defederation while logged in. When viewing those same communities signed out, more recent posts and comments were visible.

          Yes I’ve been still viewing beehaw communities but haven’t tried commenting. I figured if there was a post I wanted to interact with I could use my beehaw account

        This seems like a loophole. So, you go to one of those communities and post ilegal stuff and that’s visible for everyone in your communities but the mods don’t see it so can’t moderate it?
