They can normally if their instance is not defederatd.
But if beehaw defederate some instance, only the one from their own instance can see and interact with their post.
So for example, I have an account in lemmy.world and posting it to beehaw tech community. Other user from lemmy.world can see my post and reply normally. But other user from other instances (including beehaw itself) can’t even see the post.
Basically like shadowban in reddit but for all users in an instance
It appears to me that since beehaw defederated, the beehaw communities still exist on the cut off instances (like Lemmy.world) and the instance still lets you interact with it, but your changes won’t be propagated back to beehaw or to other instances.
Can outsiders comment in beehaw posts?
As far as I understand yes they can.
If I’m wrong about this somebody will surely correct me.
