Newbie question here... What's the difference between federated and de-federated?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Federated means that any instance that is federated with them receives their content and can bee seen on that instance.

Defederated means they are not federated anymore, thus blocking both users and content.

It's usually done to combat content you don't want on your instance

Ok ok... So me using Lemmy.world is a specific instance of Lemmy, so it's almost like its own server? And other instances (maybe lemmy.unitiedstates?) is its own federated instance likely related to just U.S. posts and it can communicate with other instances? Do de-federated instances have no other communication with instances?

Apologies if these are silly, I feel like a dum dum because everyone else seems to grasp this except me.

When you use Gmail to send an email to Outlook, those two servers are federated.

Defederation blocks communication between servers.

I wonder why gameliberty.club is the only Mastodon instance in this list that uses the old blue logo.

Because they are still on version 3

Why was Alex Gleason defederated?

Where/how is this obtained?

I'm curious about seeing an entire list of defederated instances.

Anyone have a lemmy list?

What's with Pawoo.net? Figured it was something but it's all Japanese.
