My understanding is that the “host” instance of the community is responsible in sending things out to the subscribers. As such, when users from B post on a community on C, C will broadcast the activity of user from B to instance A’s federated copy of community on C, and users on A will see the post from the user from B. They should also be able reply to each other’s comments on the community on C.
except instance A will actively reject such content from B users when it hears about it from C.
generally it should be expected not to see any new content from B, but historic content will still exist and basically be in a frozen state.
So, IIUC, you're saying that if a user on A browses a community on C, they will never see a user from B?
for content that was not federated prior to defederation, yes.
