"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Gosh I feel like a Boomer. What are instances and what are federated and defederated instances and how do you know which is which?
Instances are servers in the Fediverse, such as your lemmy.zip. In the case of Lemmy, these are servers on which Lemmy runs.
Federated is a statement about the connection between instances. lemmy.zip is federated with lemmygrad.ml and vice versa. This means that you can post/comment from lemmy.zip here in lemmygrad.ml, and lemmygrad.ml users can do the same on lemmy.zip.
Defederated means that the administrators of an instance have severed the connection (the federation) to another instance. For example, lemmy.world defederated lemmygrad.ml. If your account were there, you wouldn't even be able to see this post. For lemmy.world users, it's as if lemmygrad.ml doesn't exist.
You can see which instances lemmy.zip is federated with and which ones the lemmy.zip admins have defederated at https://lemmy.zip/instances.
This is a lucid explanation. Thank you!
Instances are websites that can interact with each other, this ability is called federation, they can also choose to defederate with another website so they stop interacting
Here is the introduccion to lemmy by its developers i think they explain it very well https://join-lemmy.org/docs/index.html
