I described it as “Mastodon’s Reddit”. Which is inaccurate, and I’m not happy with it. How would you phrase it?

    Interconnected group of reddits. Any such reddit is called a ‘instance’.

    Instead of having one instance, you have multiple independent instances that can see each other’s content and post on each.
    That makes them federated. Some instances filter what their users can see, others don’t. They can be self-hosted.

    Unlike in the OG reddit, votes are transparent, and you can see if users got banned somewhere with the reasons why.
