/instancesto your instance’s address – ex. lemmy.world/instancesI had it in my head that it doesn't matter who blocks who, if one instance defederates from another it looks the same from both instances - you don't see new content on one from the other. Is that not the case?
If beehaw blocks lemmy.world, Lemmy.world can still get the beehaw content, but any comments made by lenny.world accounts, as an example, are not visible to beehaw users, or on the beehaw instance. At least that's how I understand it.
Not sure how it plays out if a lemmy.world user makes a comment on another instance then the beehaw user views the same 3rd server though.
It would be the case if they implemented authenticated fetch, which is a fediverse protocol that mastodon and some others support, but it's not widely enabled because anything that doesn't support it would get blocked. It basically allows servers to reject fetches from defederated servers, and since lemmy doesn't support it, defederation is somewhat one way since the defederated server can still anonymously fetch new content despite being defederated.
