Federation, Re-shares, and Defunct pods

With the shutdown of Joindiaspora, the behaviour of additional activities and actions on re-shared posts from defunct pods is becoming clear:

• Comments and other actions to re-shared posts from defunct Pods WILL NOT FEDERATE past the pod on which they are made.
• It is not possible to further re-share posts from defunct pod.
• "Likes" won't propagate beyond the pods on which they are made.

This is visible on the following post, originally to Joiindiaspora (joindiaspora.com), reshared recently to Glasswings (diaspora.glasswings.com):

https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/c32198507e0b013a5b36448a5b29e257

I can see @Ed S's comment natively from my own pod ... because he and I are both on Glasswings. No other pod will see these comments. Others who've interacted with the post from other pods will NOT receive notifications.

Compare the federated views at a selection of pods:

• diasp.org
• diasp.eu
• diasp.de
• diaspora-fr.org
• joindiaspora.com (will itself go offline end-of-March 2022)
• diaspora.glasswings.com (Shows Ed's and my own comments.)

Keep in mind that other pods recently shut down or with planned shutdowns (iSurf.ca, framasphere.org, Pluspora) will show similar behaviours.
