I assume its still defederated for the same reason they defederated in the first place. Beehaw has the goal of running a strongly moderated instance, and Lemmy.world had too many users for their moderation to keep up with them. They plan to re-federate when they have the mods and mod tools in place to handle that much volume.
The trick is to sign up at a well behaved medium-small instance. From over on lemmy.fmhy.ml I can interact with both Beehaw and lemmy.world.
