Interesting, but the issue is beehaw is that they defederated both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, so around 20k monthly active users out of the 50k of Lemmy: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/
Well there's also their adventure of deciding whether they want to stay on the fediverse or do their own thing. I haven't seen anything on that from them recently, but last I saw (early this year) was that they were certainly thinking about leaving.
Moving to Sublinks which is designed to have full feature parity with Lemmy
But even with Sublinks, would Beehaw refederate with LW and SJW at some point? That's the core of the issue
I think that hinges on how Sublinks moderation tools develop. That said the Beehaw admins are really burned out from how hard to moderate a federated forum has been on Lemmy so I'd think there might be hesitation before re-enabling federation with those two, especially since they're wanting to move to whitelist federation and SJW specifically (at least back when I was paying attention to it) moved to an admin format that tends to be slow to respond to crises
