From my understanding, posts on beehaw won’t populate on defederated instances. And defederated instance posts wont show on beehaw. There’s also no requests sent or received from beehaw to update the beehaw posts with defederated data.

Defederated instance users can still go to posts directly on beehaw and they might be able to comment, but no one on beehaw will see it. It’s basically “read-only” for defederated instances.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I’m wrong.
