My understanding is that no one on that instance can see any of us on any instance.
So no, they couldn't post to lemmy.world.
They could post to somewhere we both federate too, such as lemmy.ml and we would be able to see that post, but if we respond to them, they wouldn't see our post.
Seems like that's gonna lead to some weird threads. What if someone from the third instance responds to our comment, will Beehaw see that comment seemingly responding to nobody?
It was a bit inaccurate: On other instances that are federated with both us and Beehaw, we can interact with Beehaw users and they can interact with us. That's because in that case it's the third instance handling the federation - they send the information to both us and Beehaw. All Beehaw's defederation does is stop receiving information from lemmy.world directly, and stop sending information about itself to lemmy.world.
Ohh, that's a lot better and makes so much sense, thank you!
