I'm trying to understand The Federating Instances and I think a lot of people are here now and not there and I don't know what I'm doing

(I'm kevspace on mastodon.social)

@kelspace it's kind of confusing because federation isn't working exactly properly between this instance and mastodon.social

@typhlosion I mean it was already confusing because I 99% don't understand federation and don't expect to, so, this is mostly just me trying to also be here if mastodon.social collapses under the weight of... whatever is happening

@kelspace fair!

federation isn't that hard to understand. mastodon.social and awoo.space, as well as maly.io and the others you might be hearing about, are all different social networks that can interface with one another

@typhlosion (also I have brain problems and something being not hard to understand has never been any guarantee I personally would understand it, heh)
