I’ve been on Lemmy for some time now and it’s time for me to finally understand how Federation works. I have general idea and I have accounts on three federated instances, but I need some details.
Let Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta be four federated instances. I have an account on Alpha and create a post in a community on Beta. A persoson from Gamma comments on it and a person from Delta upvotes the post and the comment.
The question: On which instances are the post, the comment and the upvotes stored?
Control or redundancy of data?
If there is a federated delete, I get the impression there is no actual way to ensure that data is deleted?
I don’t mean control from the perspective of someone posting data. I mean from the perspective of the server owner.
Sorry, what do you mean?
