I started on lemme.world but it’s been getting hammered so I made a backup account on lemm.ee
Yes when your feed is on local is the server you are on and all is all servers. It gets weirder though because you will also see posts from defederated servers, we can still comment like normal on them too but that server itself that’s defederated the people on that server will not be communicating with the rest of the federation.
what exactly does defederation mean? that the instance has psuedo cut itself off from the other instances such that their own users dont see anything from the other instances? we can still see them but they cant see us?
Sort of yes but it’s the communications that change they all can see whats on all servers but their server is only commenting with themselves or whom they are federated with. I’m still new to this as well and I believe this is how it works. But I know there’s something that has to do with the content being a copy across other servers, that part I’m still iffy on lol.
im still not sure how this whole thing works but i guess im using the https://sh.itjust.works/ instance…? What instance do you use / recommend?
also, when I go to the home page and hit that “all” button and am I seeing content from all instances?

interesting stuff
I’m literally commenting from lemm.ee since we’re federated. It’s like I’m on my spaceship and you are on yours and we opened comms to each other.
