I’m with lemmy.world and I can still see beehaw recent posts and I can interact with them despite us being mutually defederated. How does this actually work?

You can see the posts, but any interactions are like you talking into the void.
Aren’t we all…
No. I hear you. I see you. And gosh darn it people like you.
Now shut up while I eat my beans
I thought I read somewhere that other local users can also see your comments?
I wonder if that applies to other federated instances as well. Like if my home instance (lemmygrad.ml) is federated with lemmy.ml, and I make a post on BeeHaw (which is not federated with either), could lemmy.ml users see my comment?
The host instance is responsible for federating (is that a word?) the posts/comments to others. So any comments on lemmy.world to a beehaw community will only show to other lemmy.world users. No one on lemmy.ml would see them.
