Can someone please ELI5 federation to me? I keep seeing threads and comments about this but I don't understand the concept. Does federation essentially just mean connecting all different instances and platforms across the fediverse which is how I can use kbin and see all the content here even if it's from Lemmy?
edit: thanks everyone for the answers :)
Yeah. I'm a https://Lemmy.world user.
The fact that you and I are talking right now is called Federation. In fact, people over here at lemmy don't even know what a kbin (or magazine) is. They're called "communities" over here.
Yup. Seems like you understand the concept just fine.
