Let’s say we have lemmy instances A, B, C.

alice from A makes a post “Hello, world” to B. What happens? How is it processed on servers A, B, C and how do users from A, B, C receive her post?

    Why does a mastodon user get completely different profiles and history when viewed from different lemmy instances? They look like 2 completely different users when compared except for having the same @address. In fact this makes them immune from moderation if they comment from a different instance than the mod is on.

      Mastodon doesn’t have Group support (fep-1b12), so when they reply to a post, they don’t send it to the community’s inbox (only to the inbox of the Person they’re replying to), thus breaking Lemmy’s model of federation.
