I still see posts from other instances on beehaw communities, and it makes me wonder: If those posts can’t be seen by the mods, then is there simply no moderation possible for them (other than the instance owner, I guess)?

Kind of…
So lets say there is a group called Group A on Instance A. And there is a user called User B on Instance B that is subscribed to Group A.
Then Instance A defederates from instance B. At this point, instance B still has cached copies of the stuff that happened in Group A before defederation. However, they won’t see any new content, and crucially, even though they can still see a cached version of Group A, if they try and post to it from Instance B, won’t be relayed by Group A, so no one else will see their content.
