No, it doesn't. A new Piefed instance defederates two specific instances - both of which your current instance also defederates.
Yeah, I should probably switch home instances again, it didn't use to defed hexbear when I joined.
If you want to try PieFed with hexbear and lemmygrad.ml, you could check out PieFed.zip - for one thing it prides itself on rarely defederating from much of anything (obviously it blocks known CSAM instances though), and an admin there recently related how it makes federation with those two as opt-in, so blocking them for new users by default but with easy to follow instructions on how to remove that and show all content from them.
They brought this social isolation on themselves, especially that incident where hexbear admins were caught actually lying to admins of other instances. They can do whatever they want, but then again so too can everyone else - like even the anarchist instance Quokk.au defederates from hexbear, it's simply not worth exposing everyone (especially new users) to being trolled OUTSIDE of the communities that were created specifically for trolling.
If you like leftist messaging, you may find it interesting that slrpnk.net is going to switch over to PieFed sometime this year. However, they too defederate from both hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, so I would guess that your aim would need to be more towards neutral instances such as PieFed.zip.
