I’m honestly super confused about what you can and can’t do when federation ties have been cut.

Our posts still show up in their instance up until the point of defederation. But their comments/posts in the Beehaw communities are only viewable to their users/other users and are not visible/sync to the Beehaw instance.
It's just posts from before the defederation though, right?
Edit: Yeah, for clarity, they shouldn't see any of our new community posts from that point. They should still see all the historical content from our community up until that point. Then they'll only see stuff they post into it from their instance. That's my understanding at least.
If I sort by New in Lemmy.world, I still see posts that just went up within the hour.
Weird. Clearly what I read in another thread on this same topic must've just been speculation. It's good to be having these discussions because there are still a lot of confusing things about the Fediverse that aren't very clear.
Yeah, this is kind of a confusing mess. I'm totally lost. I just posted to a beehaw community from Lemmy.world, and a bunch of people on Lemmy.world replied.

That seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Doesn't this effectively create beehaw branded communities on LW with no beehaw community content within them?
Literally just posted to beehaw tech from lemmy.world an hour ago.
Can that post be seen with a beehaw account?
I believe only Lemmy.world folks can see it https://lemmy.world/post/158352
Super weird. So lemmy.world’s view of beehaw c/technology could just be littered with troll or spam posts for all beehaw users would know?
Precisely. It could be filled with trash from their point of view but we would see none of it. They'll stop seeing any content in our community posted by our members from the point of defederation.
Wonder what happens when/if we turn the federation on again? I'm guessing their versions will be replaced by our true ones?
So, for example, on beehaw, c/Feminism could be full of feminists, and on another instance, beehaw's c/Feminism could be full of posts and comments of people hating on feminists?
Sounds like it should be limited to comments on old posts. Are new posts showing over there too?
