Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.

      The community name will end in “@beehaw”.

      If you go to the community search bar and search for say, “gaming” you’ll get multiple results. The one that’s just “gaming” is your home instance, any with an “@instancename” behind them are from elsewhere.

          If you are using an app remember to turn on the option to see instance names right next to the poster’s username.

        Also their icons are pretty recognizable, I think they are all yellow honeycombs.
