I believe I read a while ago that beehaw defederated from lemmy.world. I'm new to the fediverse, so I'm still trying to understand exactly what that means. Is it still possible to subscribe to a lemmy.world community from my beehaw account? There are a couple of iOS Lemmy apps that have their official community on lemmy.world, and I'd really like to be able to subscribe to them.

No, you will have to create a separate account on Lemmy.world or another instance which still federates with them to do that. It is worth noting that the defederation is indefinite but not permanent so you could also just wait. The defederation was done because Lemmy.world users were creating an overabundance of moderation issues so the intention is to eventually federate with them again when it is possible to address those issues more efficiently.

Thanks. That's kind of what I was afraid of, but I understand.
