Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Defederation and comment threads (mander.xyz)

I think there are good reasons to not let corporate interests join the space we built to escape them, but I guess every instance is free to (de)federate with whomever they want.

So let's say my instance (mander.xyz) defederates from Meta but another Lemmy instance that meander.xyz federates with (let's say "misguided.ml") does not. What happens when someone from Meta comments on a post from misguided.ml and others from misguided.ml comment on that comment? Will I see the comments on the meta comment, but not the original meta comment itself? Or will I not see the entire thread?

You will see all comments on "misguided.ml"

Except the one from Meta? So the comment thread would have an empty spot or something?

There wouldn't be an empty spot, your instance would never know that comment was there to begin with. You would be able to see it if you clicked through to the other instance of course.

I don't think so. It will have all comments including comments from Meta.
