How does moderation work for 'false' instance communities following defederation (self.asklemmy)

I hope this is a clear enough description of what I'm asking.

lemmy.world users can still make new posts in @beehaw.org communities, which are only hosted on lemmy.world and there is no indication in the UI that those communities are a 'false' version, only visible to other lemmy.world users

The posts made by lemmy.world users to @beehaw.org communities are not hosted on the 'true' beehaw instance. The 'true' community is moderated by beehaw mods. The 'false' community is moderated by who?

lemmy.world never had moderators for these communities because they were beehaw.org communities.

So who is moderating these posts?

If I had to report a user for breaking community rules, who receives that user report?

No real drama, beehaw just doesn't have the moderation tools to handle the sudden large influx of users from both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works (I can never remember where the periods go, sorry if it's wrong!) in order to moderate their communities how they want to and was struggling. It's hopefully a temporary measure until mod tools are strengthened but has shone a light on some of the other cracks in the system that require some attention too. From what I've read it was basically constantly fire fight issues with limited tools and people or use the nuke option which is unfortunate.

I'm thankful for everyone confirming my thought process, I wasnt sure if I was completely missing something important. It sucks that I seem to be correct, but it helps to know that I'm probably not imagining the issue lol
