Ok so imagine I’m on instance A, which is federated with instance B but defederated with instance C. Can people from instance C see a post I make on instance B and vice-versa?

    Probably. That will depend on whether instance B is federated to instance C. The home instance of a post is what defines federation policy.

    Defederation means that you can’t see the instances you defederated from, but they can see all your posts regardless of where they are.
