And it also seems that mastodon can also be “syndicated” to these other communities, and vice versa? Is that true?
Are there limitations to any of this?
Apologies if this is not the perfect place to ask this question. I’m a lost old man. :-)

Wanna try something crazy? Go to a mastodon instance like this one and put
@asklemmy@lemmy.mlon the searchbar there.or do the inverse, look for someone local to mastodon, like
@stux@mstdn.socialand search in our searchbar. Result.I think this works even for unfederated things, then by doing that you end up federating them to the whole server.
To get the initial federation going, some kind of “subscribing” action has to take place, e.g. following a user.
