What is an instance? what is a federation? what is a server? can someone please describe in simple terms how this all runs and how we as users navigate it?

An instance is like an independent version of Reddit
Each Reddit (instance) has its own set of subreddits (called communities)
Whichever instance you’re on, you can access communities in almost any other instance
So in sum… Just sign up to an instance, subscribe to communities that interest you, and don’t overthink it!
