Comment on How does data sent over the internet know where to go?
OmegaMouse@pawb.social 7 months agoThanks, this is a good summary. It’s useful to know about the dynamically changing route - that explains a lot.

Root federated?
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
we’re on lemmy which is a federated service, essentially the tl;dr is decentralized. Root federation in this context refers to the instance that hosts your account. In my case dbzer0, in your case pawb.
Personally i’ve found it really interesting seeing the sub niche interactions between different federated platforms. It’s a weird look into how humans tend to associate.

Ah gotcha! Yeah it’s pretty neat seeing the ways in which the instances intermingle. Some communities stay pretty niche and used only by local users with the same interests, whereas others are melting pots of every instance. I guess it’s a bit like a society with little towns and bigger cities.
