As far as I'm aware defederation is one way. If instance 1 defederates instance 2 it means they won't accept posts, comments or any other data from the instance 2. But instance 2 is still capable of viewing the data from instances 1 much like an unlogged in user
Looking at lemmy.ml/instances I dont see lemmy.world in the blocked list. I don't think either has defederates the other. Are you thinking of Beehaw?
Mastodon instances are technically able to interact with lemmy instances. Both platforms use the ActivityPub protocol. The issue for your average user is the UI frontend of the platforms don't have anyway of doing the correct queries or display the information from each other. But if you use alternative interfaces, I think it's basically just all command line utilities at the moment, you can view content and post across them. There should be some other platforms able to do this as well.
I remember reading a post on lemmy.ml today where several instances have been defederated for "loose registration process". Lemmy.world was among them. But of course I can't find it again, so I might have gotten something wrong or just someone posting BS.
I feel a bit more reassured that I am safe here. I will check out the CLI tools for ActivityPub, thank you for pointing me in this direction.
Someone mentioned to check out what admins are writing about themselves, what communities they are in to get a gist of a possible leaning of an instance. That turned out to be a helpful tip if you check out the lemmy.ml admins.
