Anyone on a federated server can see this post. I'm on my own personal server for example. There's no local content whatsoever. I'm getting all content through federation which basically means that all the servers are agreeing to talk to each other and share content. It's like a group chat but for websites.

Question about that: your comment is local content, isn't it? Lives on your server and gets federated everywhere else?

On my personal instance and I'm here.

In the same way you cannot see my comment, I cannot see your post.
