Question about Defederation that I am stuck on (lemmy.world)

Using Beehaw's /c/gaming community as an example: Why am I still seeing some new posts by beehaw users? Shouldn't these not be showing up? What am I misunderstanding? Are there now 2 /c/gaming communities? The "real" one on beehaw and then the copy on lemmy.world that split off once defederation happened? If so, why is there a beehaw user making posts here?

Beehaw blocked lemmy.world, but lemmy.world didn't block Beehaw. Therefore, lemmy.world still brings in new posts from Beehaw that you can see. Any comments you make on those posts will not be accepted by Beehaw, whose version of the thread is the "official" version that other instances reference, so your comments will only exist on lemmy.world's local copy of those posts.
