Community level federation

I can see that sh.itjust.works has a conservative community like lemm.ee and lemmy.world does; but I'm not able to access it from lemmy.ml via federation. Does this mean that Lemmy now capable of federating at a community level?

Yeah pretty much. About a year ago, a lemmy.ml admin “removed” community !conservative@sh.itjust.works for bigotry, which essentially defederated it.
- now i wonder why entire instances have been defederated instead of only the communities they don't like.
  
  For one example, exploding-heads.com was a haven for fascists, and we won’t have them in our communities.
  
  Defederating the community just gets rid of the posts. Defederating the entire instance gets rid of the posts AND the users.
  
  Some defederate from .ml because it's full of tankies.
  
  -- to their own detriment and good riddance.
