what does it mean that Beehaw "defederated" from lemmy.world?

I thought I understood, but I still have Beehaw content in my feed, so I guess I don't understand after all... Can someone dumb it down for me?

Man, This is so cool, Not related to the topic but im able to see yall talk about lemmy from lemmy instances while im on kbin

In my Info Sci classes we talked about federated search and how it could work. Unfortunately, very few instances existed at the time…. in 2010.

fr, fr. Every time I see an entire different instance I can't help but go "Awww, look at them have their own lil discussion/drama over there, how cute" and the fact that I can also interact with them makes it even more adorable.

Correct me if I’m wrong but pretty sure we can see them on kbin but they can’t see us on Lemmy yet. Boss man Ernest is working on it.
