Based on the FAQ I'd say it will not be federated, at least not initially, and in the FAQ they explain why. In short, they think that's where other initiatives fall short, and they want to sidestep the issue completely, and come back to it once they're profitable.
- r3bl 8y agoI don't think that FAQ entry answers the question asked by the parent comment. They say that they don't want to decentralize the service (as in, everyone can run their own instance), and I can understand their stand on that. However, they say nothing about federation with other similar attempts that are popping up. Instead of "Will I be able to run my own instance?", think: Will I be able to follow an Openbook account from my Mastodon account?
- rainbowmverse 8y agoThis is something I didn't know I cared about until I followed Blender's PeerTube instance account from a Mastodon instance. Pixelfed is working on it, and Plume, and... It's something I've come to expect. If your hot new app doesn't federate, I don't care about it.
