Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

There's also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn't matter!

Is there an OutOfTheLoop? I keep finding vague allusions to beehaw defederating lemmy.world, but I have no idea where to ask what happened.

Beehaw appears to be staunchly against instances who allow open registration for any account. They want to foster a safe, friendly community and instances that allow open registration are a ripe spot for trolls and bad actors to register with Lemmy. Since these trolls and bad actors are then free to post on any federated instances, they can sign up on these open instances and attack places they otherwise wouldn't be allowed to register.

Do the the limited functionality of moderation between federated instances, they decided to defederate from the two fast growing, open registration instances. They've developed a plan with sh.itjust.works to build a path to refederating but Lemmy.world admins have been non-responsive to Beehaw's attempts to reach out to them about doing the same.
