Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I still haven't quite figured out how this works but here is a comment from a completely unrelated instance!
It works like email. All instances talk in the background between each other.
@sting here's me trying to figure out how activity pub works. https://beehaw.org/comment/188913.
The entire thread that follows is very useful for understanding how this works, in a simple way.
Edit: markdown wasn't working.
Same lol. But I'm glad it send to be working. I'm getting used to this slowly but surely.
And it seems to be improving fast enough, and I'll try to contribute soon, too, once I get used to how this all works.
I joined just a few hours ago so I might be somewhat off, but the way I think about it is: every instance is like a server with its own set of communities and moderation rules. You can create an account on any instance but can interact with communities in that and in other instances. That is why you will see communities such as gaming in more than one instance. Is this close enough?
You good, fam.
Hello from The Outpost! 👋
Hey! 👋
Oh that’s cool, I knew I could read from remote communities but didn’t know I can make new posts on them too
It's all combined. Different instances have their own rules and communities, but you can interact with all of them.
