what does it mean that Beehaw "defederated" from lemmy.world? (lemmy.world)

I thought I understood, but I still have Beehaw content in my feed, so I guess I don't understand after all... Can someone dumb it down for me?

You have Beehaw content that was synced before they defederated.

Federation isn't accessing remote content on remote instances, it's content mirroring. So, anything that was mirrored before Beehaw defederated will stay exactly where it is. You just won't see any updates to it.

At least, not from Beehaw.

It's weird because I still see posts from the News@beehaw in my feed.

Basically we can post new content, but only people on lemmy.world can see it. It doesn't get sent to any other instance. Any old posts will still be there but any new interactions will not get sent outside of lemmy.world.
