I do kbin mostly and I can’t say I’ve ever seen a single hexbear post or mag (and only a handful of their users) unless it was someone else telling me what hexbear is or complaining about them.
They haven’t whitelisted kbin, so you won’t see their posts (edit: unless they’re made to non-hexbear communities). Only their comments on other instances, and a fair number have blocked them at this point.
If I understand correctly, their posts and comments to communities on other instances will still remain visible to you until your instance specifically blocks them. Hexbear won’t talk directly talk to kbin, but will talk to lemm.ee, and lemm.ee will tell kbin about posts and comments that hexbear users have made on lemm.ee’s communities.

Wait, if they’re not federated, then their comments are still visible?
