Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Defederation and comment threads (mander.xyz)

I think there are good reasons to not let corporate interests join the space we built to escape them, but I guess every instance is free to (de)federate with whomever they want.

So let's say my instance (mander.xyz) defederates from Meta but another Lemmy instance that meander.xyz federates with (let's say "misguided.ml") does not. What happens when someone from Meta comments on a post from misguided.ml and others from misguided.ml comment on that comment? Will I see the comments on the meta comment, but not the original meta comment itself? Or will I not see the entire thread?

Ok, but I am talking about a nested comment structure right? So the Meta user comments on a post/comment of misguided.ml, and then misguided.ml users comment again on that comment.

If I don't see the Meta comment in the middle, the conversation would be quite weird to me? I would see people respond to something I don't see?

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. Could probably find some examples live examples by looking at any convo with folks from beehaw and lemmy.world or shitjustworks, and viewing that thread from the different instances
