Ok. But we can still see their feeds ie beehaw games, so is that the people on that server won't see comments from people outside their instance?

Yeah, it's read-only.

IMO that's still better than other sites, where they don't federate at all.

On Reddit, you can screencap something, and paste a static image. You can't see the comments underneath at all.

I expect instances that don't fully federate will grow slower, so it won't matter, most content will be on instances that are open to fully connecting with others.
