    beehaw.org is a Lemmy instance (server). kbin is a platform similar to Lemmy and it can federate with Lemmy instances, as well as integrate with them nicely (not the case with Mastodon and Lemmy/kbin). Defederation means cutting off ties with a certain instance. Beehaw defederated from sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world, which means that their users won’t be able to see posts from these instances. On the other hand, members of sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world will be able to see beehaw’s communities and posts, but can’t post in them. A bit of a clusterfuck, I know.
