Would be helpful for most new users to understand how Lemmy works and how the different hosts interact with each other in a basic way.
So one thing I don’t understand is, how do all the federated servers find each other? Is there one server that maintains the registrations to all other servers and each server can pull from there? What happens if that central server decides to delete another server from it’s list, doesn’t that put authority back into one server/persons hands? Or does each server maintain their own list of federated servers and if so you never know if you’re fully connected / how much time would that take each server owner?
No, there’s no central server. To my knowledge, servers federate either manually or by their users manually exploring other servers. But most servers at the moment are already federated with each other.
