      beehaw stands out among the lemmy instances because of the unique culture.

      so idk how things work over on the lemmy instances and beehaw, but here when we get threads from other sites, the logo of the site is shown pretty blatantly. likewise the url is clearly visible. In beehaw’s case, just looking around there it seems pretty strictly moderated with a certain cultural/style emphasis. Maybe not obvious at first glance, but reading some of the ethos pages makes it clear.

      It’s a very… “tumblr” vibe. So beehaw defederating from lemmy.world isn’t really a surprise.

      Like to me the different instances have different “feels” to them. and on kbin they’re clearly marked so it’s obvious. it’s further emphasized as i said by the fact that we were isolated for a while.

        The advantage Beehaw has is the way the communities are organized - so much neater than in other instances. Every community on there is a giant hub, making these communities more visible and active than what we see on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, and to some extent kbin.
