    Federation means, multiple servers talking to one another and exchanging information.

    You’re on lemdro.id, I’m on my own server, yet we can talk. I can shut down my server, and you will still see my comments from lemdro.id.

    This ensures you don’t have to be on a single website along with everyone else: you’re always free to leave lemdro.id if you wish and go to say, lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works or whatever other instance you feel like.

    Lemdro.id doesn’t appear to block any servers, so it will federate with any server that doesn’t block lemdro.id. You can see the list here: https://lemdro.id/instances/linked.

      yeah as a technology focused instance we get the benefit of not really needing to block any instances.

      very little politics makes a lot of things easier for this instance lol

    Federating is default.

    Also, the community is not the instance. The instances federate content of communities.

    Your post reached me on the instance sh.itjust.works , for example and I’m replying through that. Hope that helps.
