When I load Lemmy.ml, the option is there even when I’m not logged in, however the option is missing from beehaw completely, why?

    So doesn’t that mean that beehaw isn’t acting as a federated instance of lemmy but rather a walled garden?

    I guess my second question is, is it possible to migrate to another instance in the same way you can do on mastodon?

      No. We are not preventing users from accessing the fediverse or the Internet as a whole.

      I’m, fairly, certain that the answer is no.

      When i first joined beehaw i had a similar question as you, but slowly i started accessing lemmy communities from across the lemmyverse from here and realized im okay with how things are. If i wish to create a community of my own i might join another server like mander.xyz and do so.
