If instance A is connected to instance B, and instance B is connected to instance C, then it is highly likely that instances A and C are connected. But, beware: it is possible that instance A has defederated instance C (for reasons of moderation or incompatibility between the two instances: for example, an instance A of a religious nature and an instance C of a pornographic nature; or a 'instance of intelligent people and an instance of the US trash right). In this case, the two instances A and C will not be able to communicate with each other.
The lemmy and friendica instances can sometimes need a push ... If from your instance, you enter the address of an account or a community in the search box and start following them, the two instances will be federated immediately.
In any case, on friendica and lemmy, you can find the list of blocked instances: Friendica: nameserver / friendica Lemmy: nameserver // instances
But does A and C have to connect each other in this case or wouldn't this be necessary?
@Roslavets @poliverso All instances of the fediverse, once activated, begin to search for each other. Depending on the number of connections and interactions in common, it may take more or less time. But they continually send out small inputs, like grains of pollen wandering through the air 😅💐
That is not true.
