Thanks for the breakdown.

If you don't mind me asking, why is it that some posts on mealtimevideos are still visible to me? The newest one I can see while viewing from here is from 9 days ago. I'm assuming this is a quirk of how defederation works, but not sure how exactly.

    I believe that the defederation is only one way (from .cafe's side), so while your instance will no longer request new content from .cafe, if a user from your instance manually inputs a direct link to a post from .cafe, I think it can still be fetched one at a time (might be somewhat wrong about that, but I'm pretty sure that's the gist of it).

    However, any posts or comments left to that community would only be seen by other users on your own instance, it would not federate out.
