Instances can each have their own communities. It’s important to find out what instance you want to register with and associate with. Take into account reliability, politics, and legal concerns. Instances that don’t hold a standard are at risk of being defederated.

Federation is how instances share posts. You can see and interact with posts and communities from other instances that are federated with your instance.

Federation can be a two-way or one-way street. If you belong to instance A and it is federated with instance B and vice versa, B to A, then all posts and comments are visible to each other and all other federated instances.

If instance A is federated to instance B but B is not federated with instance A, then A can see B but not vice versa. A can interact on B posts but they will not be saved on B’s instance, only A’s.
