I'm not on l.world. Even so I should be able to visit the main instance and see the top posts.

possible theyve decided to defederate entirely, though i doubt that. I'm able to go to beehaw.org and see their posts just fine

Yep, used another browser and it works fine. Weird.

They don't have the beefiest server ever, although most lemmy instances don't. I experienced that 404 page and a 502 page a few times over the last few days, there are just random moments, possibly due to high traffic, where it became inaccessible for a few minutes at a time.

Old posts and comments will be seen, new ones won't be seen. One-sided defederation is like two linked servers delinking from one another - you keep the old info but you basically desync and one side can't see the other if they add new stuff.
That's why I have accounts on both kbin and l.world - so that I am able to access more information as it gets updated. It seems the influx of new users is leading to a fracturing and a defederation of the biggest instances, so having one account for all of the threadiverse is not viable.
