@solberg @Barbarian It's more of you can message someone from somewhere else. Think of it like a mobile network, mastodon is t-mobile, kbin at&t and lemmy sprint ... you can talk to anyone you want but pay your bill in one place. Same with the fedi you have one home but can talk to anyone who federates with you or speaks your language ... in this case ActivityPub
It's easy from the docker from what I can tell, the bare metal / vps is a bit more as more manual pieces but nothing too crazy. I just submitted a pull request for the admin guide so that should help a bit for less head bashing... Though my instance doesn't seem to be federating so that's a new problem for tomorrow.
