Yes of course. In the broadest sense. Thanks for pointing it out though. :)
I am more interested in which aspects of the broader system resemble which systems we know of.
For example, lemmy has countless instances, some are part of the fedipact, others arent, others again are part of fediseer, joinlemmy.org, etc.
Well, federations are a broad political system ranging from say, Switzerland (or even Germany) to much larger collections like the USA, the Federation of Russia, or the EU itself (which Germany is also part of). It can also be considered in variety of forms, say the UK is not officially a federation (not that I'm aware of at least) but it's also a collection of various and at time very diverging populations and countries/states/regions, not all of them subject of to the exact same exact laws.
thats a pretty awesome explanation. Thanks. :)
You're welcome ;)
