Assuming MWI is correct, do we interact with those other timelines that branched out?

Assuming MWI is correct - it almost certainly isn't since it breaks the fundamental law of quantum mechanics about conservation of probability - but let's assume it is. MWI also states that it would be impossible to access the other branches.

People just come on here and say shit.

Anyway, no OP, once decoherence is complete those other universes are gone

That's isn't true. The whole point of many-worlds is that there is no wavefunction collapse. Which is also why this anon >>16943707 is also correct since the initial wavefunction no longer remains normalised within each 'branch'.
