Can someone please ELI5 federation to me? I keep seeing threads and comments about this but I don't understand the concept. Does federation essentially just mean connecting all different instances and platforms across the fediverse which is how I can use kbin and see all the content here even if it's from Lemmy?
edit: thanks everyone for the answers :)
There’s some videos that explain it well. For example this one by simply explain.
