I'm still getting familiar with the concept of federation. What would Forejo be able to do with federation if it's not primarily a communication platform?
The federation is mainly about issues / bug reports (the discussions and comments) and being able to make cross instance pull-requests and so on. So yes, it is mostly about communication.
Oh, that's pretty cool!
