Thank you. My mind spins a bit, but that's good for the brain I heard. If I'm on the instance A that is defederated from Instance B, I won't be able to subscribe to it at all, right? Or is it jest that it wont show on my defoult feed until i subscribe implicitly?
You won't be able subscribe or see the posts of communities there and you also won't see the comments left by users from those instances on any post. I like .zip because it doesn't defederate much but instead applies a "default blocklist" for new accounts, which are removable. However, as the other commenter mentioned, .zip is not accessible in the UK due to their ridiculous online liability laws.
If someone subscribed beforehand to content from Instance B, it'll still be there on your instance A's cache, but there will be no new content after defederation, if that makes any sense.
I think I understood it, but there is no way of telling if I'm right.
For example, there was an instance named lemmy.film that isn't there anymore, but you can still find content that was posted on it on all but the newest instances.
