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?

    It helps when you understand that you only ever directly interact with your instance.

    • Alice posts to A (in some community hosted on B)
    • B is federated with A so will eventually receive the post
    • C is federated with B so will eventually get the post
