I hope this is a clear enough description of what I’m asking.
lemmy.world users can still make new posts in @beehaw.org communities, which are only hosted on lemmy.world and there is no indication in the UI that those communities are a ‘false’ version, only visible to other lemmy.world users
The posts made by lemmy.world users to @beehaw.org communities are not hosted on the ‘true’ beehaw instance. The ‘true’ community is moderated by beehaw mods. The ‘false’ community is moderated by who?
lemmy.world never had moderators for these communities because they were beehaw.org communities.
So who is moderating these posts?
If I had to report a user for breaking community rules, who receives that user report?

I’ve had some thoughts pop up when reading the post and your reply.
So beehaw said this may be temporary… But I can’t help to wonder what that means.
Let’s say lemmy.world closes registrations and beehaw refederates. Are they going to be flooded with all the posts that happened while we were defederated?
The amount of stuff suddenly appearing everywhere would be unmoderatable, and if I’m not wrong, it also kind of makes defederation permanent if it goes on for too long. Who would want to refederate instances and tsunami their own with things they don’t know about?
