Would defederated users be able to see and participate?

This doesn't change anything about existing federation; you can even have crossposts in the same server or even the same community (like a historical link).

If so, then to which specific instance(s) (or more precisely, local mirrors of instances) would replies be sent?

This is no different from viewing all, going to a federated community, and replying to comments there. This changes nothing about federation.

So if I post something in the comment of a thread that is cross posted to another Community my comments will appear in that Community as well? That sounds awful. I don't know why anyone would want that.

No. Your comment would only go to that specific post you replied under.

Maybe if mods from both communities agree to share comments. Some communities want to remain separate.

Its not really combining post comments. It would just be displaying cross post comments in different sections at the bottom.

Is this something communities could opt out of? Not everyone wants their community flooded with comments from people replying to people who aren't even community members.

I could see a user setting for this being a good idea. With a default being whatever the consensus ends up being.

I think if this gets added it should clearly mark which comment is for which community, or put them as separate blocks of comments entirely. Otherwise it could get confusing when different communities have different contexts.
