For the newbies, why do I still see new beehaw posts in lemmy.world, and why will lemmy.world let me post to beehaw? (beehaw.org)

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

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 They should still see all the historical content from our community up until that point.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?
