How does federation work here and what is the point? (lemmy.ml)

I can't see how users can interact across servers?

On matrix I just join the room homed on another server but here how?

It seems like there are lemmy servers out there with no federation at all?

Overall I am not impressed.

Federation works very well. At least on my instance, I had no problems reading and responding to posts from lemmy.ml and others. Regarding your argument that there are Lemmy instances without federation, I can agree. But there is also something like that with Mastodon, Pleroma, Plume, and so on.

Thanks for the reply its been a long time since I was here. Is there a federation tutorial somewhere. Main questions are where is a list of the federated servers and how to find communities and use from them?
