@fluke in case this is not a joke, yes instances host communities, but the lemmy.world is just a domain name. Federation just means lemmy.world and another server/instance such as geddit.social can share and exchange communities, comments, and threads they host with each other. I’d be happy to answer additional questions you might have, but I’m not as expert as I don’t share links in that format much.

@Pazintach @StoicLime @Phoeniqz I think it has to do with the mastodon community’s aversion to indexing because of privacy and consent reasons. A bunch of servers already have de-federated from the one I am on(universeodon.com) because the admin added a full-text search patch.
