Will all these servers be their own (semi) walled garden or is there a way to public to multiple servers? If so, if someone replies do I see it on other server

Will all these servers be their own (semi) walled garden or is there a way to public to multiple servers? If so, if someone replies do I see it on other server feeds?
- BaseballPhysics 4y agoMastodon is part of the broader fediverse, which is made up of thousands of servers, each of which has their own set of users. Those servers, and the users on them, can interact with each other thanks to the ActivityPub protocol. In this case, Medium is standing up their own invite-only Mastodon server. Users on that server will be able to interact with users on other servers and vice versa.
- parrellel 4y agoSo long as they're federated, you'll see their replies.
- riffic 4y agoanyone can run their own WordPress, install an ActivityPub protocol plugin, and instantly federate with the wider Mastodon compatible ecosystem. I wish we would stop thinking about this from siloed / walled off perspectives. The real game will start when cms devs put the protocol in as a first class citizen.
