I don't wanna go into the drama / discussion here but lets just call it some nerd drama + lack of moderation tools that can solve the issue. (Beehaw.org is very confident that if Mastodon-like tools existed, they'd be able to refederate and get the things they want. The issue is being blamed right now on Lemmy's relatively new codebase that's missing some features that Mastodon users are familiar with)
https://Lemmy.world is continues to host the copies of the "old Beehaw.org" material, allowing Lemmy.world users to talk. But the "federation" has shut down, you can only talk with local users (because Beehaw.org serves as the "True copy". So upvotes / downvotes, and federated messages/comments are coordinated by the Beehaw.org server)
In practice, this means that all the Beehaw.org communities has become kinda-sorta useless on https://Lemmy.world. But, the copies of the conversations (up to the point of defederation) do exist and remain on your local (erm... more-local?) server.
