The western hemisphere isn’t just the Americas. It includes half of europe…
"Half" is stretching it. More like a slice: UK, Ireland, Iceland, Portugal, Spain and a slice of France.
I haven't been paying attention recently, but keep in mind you've replied to a 2 year old post.
A quick search gave me this result from 8 months ago, has something changed in the meantime?
I think you're getting hung up on the word "federations" (noun) instead of the adjective "federated".
Who decides who gets to email who? The email provider admins. Should everyone be in a single email network/bubble since otherwise there is no communication? Mostly, yes. Do I need a separate account per email bubble? Per email bubble? Yes. But how many email bubbles are there? One? Whats the practical limit on number of providers per the email world? None, mostly?
Gmail does ban a lot of small email providers if they don't seem "legit" enough. And that is where you're onto something with the noun federations.
If a bunch of instances really disliked a different bunch of instances they can indeed severe each other from each other. The admins would do that. They put the other instances on a block list. Most Mastodon instances block Trump's Lie ehm Truth Social etc. But otherwise you can talk from gmail to hotmail to mcselfhost, with one account.
Basically federation works based on a block-list, not a allow-list, unless the admins of the instance set it that way, just like email providers.

Controversy Continues Over Whether Hot Water Freezes Faster Than Cold - The Mpemba Effect
Decades after a Tanzanian teenager initiated study of the “Mpemba effect,” the effort to confirm or refute it is leading physicists toward new theories about how substances relax to equilibrium.

Optimized compact stellarator with only 4 simple coils | Cambridge, 23 May 2022
Existence of an optimized stellarator with simple coils - Volume 88 Issue 3
An optimized compact stellarator with four simple coils is obtained from direct optimization via a coil shape. The new stellarator consists of two interlocking coils and two vertical field coils similar to those of the Columbia Non-neutral Torus (CNT) (Pedersen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 88, 2002, pp. 205002). The optimized configuration has a global magnetic well and a low helical ripple level comparable to that of Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) (Wolf et al., Nucl. Fusion, vol. 57, 2017, pp. 102020). The two interlocking coils have a smooth three-dimensional shape much simpler than those of advanced stellarators such as W7-X. This result opens up possibilities of future stellarator reactors with simplified coils.

Fusion reactors could generate more power thanks to a reworking of Greenwald's Law.
Fusion reactors could generate more power thanks to a reworking of Greenwald's Law.
The research, led by physicists from the Swiss Plasma Center at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EFPL), has determined that the maximum hydrogen fuel density is about twice the “Greenwald Limit” – an estimate derived from experiments more than 30 years ago.
A study about the discovery was published May 6 in the journal Physical Review Letters.
