How does moderation of defederated communities work? (lemmy.world)

I still see posts from other instances on beehaw communities, and it makes me wonder: If those posts can't be seen by the mods, then is there simply no moderation possible for them (other than the instance owner, I guess)?

It's a corner case that could maybe be handled differently in ways that wouldn't have the surprising consequence, though.
