At least the label tells you exactly what to expect. Appreciated
Entomologist, eh? Name every insect. No, not every species of insect! Every. Specific. Insect.
Bottom of the instance page shows you all the instances they’re federated with.
Technically, this only shows instances that has a community that at least 1 user has subscribed to, or that has users that subscribed to a community on your instance.
If no traffic has gone between them (nobody subscribed either direction), it won’t show up there.
Yes, in which case they’re not strictly federated with them. If you click “All” in that instance, no posts from the missing instance will show up. The “All” list shows all instances that the instance is federated with.
They’re not explicitly defederated, necessarily, but they’re not federated, not until a user subscribes.
I’m not sure how it works in either direction. Like, if a user from one instance subscribes to another, but no users from the other instance subscribes to the first, then the federation will maybe only be one way.
This isn’t quantum physics, where an instance exists in a superposition of federated and defederated.
Just because an instance is federated, doesn’t mean they’re linked. Federated means data can by synced across. Linked means that data is being synced across. What is synced depends on what people are subscribed to.
I hereby name all of the instances…
…drum roll please…
-–THE—
…I said drum roll you motherfuckers…
FEDIVERSE!
So, what do I win?
