& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?
I’m doing okay, I’m using Jerboa, it’s pretty good so far. I’m actually mainly posting now to understand how federation works because this isn’t my local instance. I still have some questions.
What dictates an instance’s access to another? Is there read/write permissions per instance that each server admin controls? Is it correct that the only way to see another non-federated instance is to create another account there, and to switch accounts within your client app to see their content? Can multiple accounts be aggregated so I don’t have to do that? Another random question is what happens when an instance defederates then refederates? Is all their post history for that period lost to the other instances?
