Federation is by definition a union, a mutual agreement. A and B are either federated or they aren’t, there is no “A is federated with B but B is not federated with A”.
So if A and B are federated and B and C are federated but not A and C, and your scenario happens, the person on B sees your comment but the person on C doesn’t see it and can’t reply to it.
Yeah, that’s federation. In terms of the principle in government as well as its application in the lemmy protocol.
lemmy.world and beehaw.org are defederated. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t see beehaw posts as a lemmy.world user, or vice versa. But (let’s say you’re a lemmy.world user) if you comment on a beehaw post, you’re commenting on a replicated version of the post that is hosted on lemmy.world. It is not synced with the original post hosted on beehaw, and you will only be able to see comments from other lemmy.world users and comments from before beehaw defederated.
Yep the original post on the beehaw instance is like a master record of the post that lives on their server and only their users and users from federated instances can interact with it. Meanwhile the act of a lemmy.world user subscribing to a given beehaw community triggers the lemmy.world instance to archive posts there and create separate self-contained records of them which only lemmy.world users can interact with
Honestly I’m not sure, I’m also quite new to the fediverse. My guess is that being a parent comment, B wouldn’t see it, but if C was the parent and A the child comment, B would see only C.

Good question!
I think if you do that the little red light would stop blinking and you’d break the internet.
