There was a post about how beehaw was defederating from shitjustworks and lemmy.world about 6 hours ago. Are we involved in that, as are we a subset of lemmyworld?

How does this affect us? I still see beehaw posts on my ‘all’ page, but any content I engage with is effectively visible, I want to be sure
So what happens if somebody from Lemmy or shit just works replies to this post? Can beehaw users see and interact with them since kbin is still (mostly) fully federated? If not what if a kbin user then replies to them?
Federation as a concept seems intuitively simple, even if it’s difficult to explain in layman’s terms, but this selective defederation raises a lot of very strange and specific questions.
Beehaw users cannot see Lemmyworld users at all now. Lemmyworld users can see beehaw users on kbin.social magazines. Lemmyworld is currently deciding if they want to block beehaw back, which would prevent them from seeing beehaw users.
As kbinauts we can interact with both of them just fine.
