I can’t see how users can interact across servers?

On matrix I just join the room homed on another server but here how?

It seems like there are lemmy servers out there with no federation at all?

Overall I am not impressed.

    Federation works very well. At least on my instance, I had no problems reading and responding to posts from lemmy.ml and others. Regarding your argument that there are Lemmy instances without federation, I can agree. But there is also something like that with Mastodon, Pleroma, Plume, and so on.

      Thanks for the reply its been a long time since I was here. Is there a federation tutorial somewhere. Main questions are where is a list of the federated servers and how to find communities and use from them?

          thanks for that

          so the only way to find communities and their posts on other instances is on them?

          and I need to bring the link back here to post or reply on them? :-/

            No problem.
            You can sort the feed by “All” instead of “Subscribed”, which shows posts from all instances. The community list can also sort communities from all instances. You don’t need to go to the other instance’s site. You can view the posts for communities on other instances by clicking on them like you do with local ones.
