What's that central entity?
in the uk? the anglican church. generally in the west? whatever lutheran, protestant, or catholic denomination is approved by the state. generally? the main church of that country, which for most of them is in a 90/10 sort of situation, with some notable exceptions, like the us, which shouldn't be counted because a) it's such a small part of the world's population and b) their view of religion is so screwed up that it doesnt compare to anything.

I do have a subscribed category both in Sync for Lemmy, and the website.
Nice! It's just missing in Connect then I guess!

An instance is literally just someone's computer with the software running. All your stuff lives on someone's computer. Different computers can talk to one another to allow people who put their stuff on those computers to see each other's stuff (federate) or they decide not to, like cutting off a computer with a lot of batshit insane people (defederate). They're running the same software so the language is the same. Like your stuff lives on lemmy.today, I don't know where and who owns that computer, while my stuff lives on sopuli.xyz, which is a computer that is owned by some random Finn, but those computers talk to one another, so we get to talk to one another.
You mean like a server? I hope it's not just Joe blows laptop with a cracked screen and bulging battery.
So federated is basically "you're allowed to post shit" within this list of other server?
If that's it then thank you, it makes a lot more sense now.

A server isn't necessarily all that meaningfully different from Joe's laptop, it's just that Joe's laptop isn't exactly practical for running big things. My website runs on a real server, but it doesn't really act much different from a computer I have in my living room when I remotely log into it, I can access all the same files, run all the same software if I wanted to.
Federated is just jargon for "the posts and comments from here will display over there too because my computer knows yours exists and runs the same software and the software does the legwork of meshing all of that shit together with mine"

I use connect and for me "frontpage" is "subbed"

Anglicanism only makes up a portion of British Churches. There are also Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Methodist and various independent congregational churches.
Only Roman Catholicism is truly centralised at a pope. Anglicanism tends to stop at the Archbishop or the Primate. Which the UK has four. The Episcopal Church of Scotland, the Church in Wales, the Church of England and the Church of Ireland which also operates in the Republic of Ireland, but the majority of adherents are in Northern Ireland.

After you block a few hundred groups of anime and nonsense it’s surprisingly enjoyable.
i just blocked lemmy.world and my feed is immediately 20x better

There is a misconception that the Church has a central earthly authority surrounding it. It doesn't. Christ is the head of the Church.

yeah but he's not really around much

yeah, the ui is a total ass, but its fun
The Reddit UI is so good though. I love browsing an album and accidentally sliding over to r/popular. Why can't Lemmy ask me to confirm my email account every time I try to look at porn?

I think He's doing a lot of work in Asia now. Probably done with the westerners. They had their chance LOL

we need more of these people more or less, even though yes, they're dumb, that's like.. most of the population when it comes to the internet (like, only the young people even know of reddit here, much less use it..) and then there's the specific niches that are barely living in lemmy.. ah, end users..

The Fediverse is like a country, and an instance is like a town connected to the other towns in that country. You're free to travel, visit, and interact with people in all the other towns that have their roads connected.
Each town has its own rules and culture, but they generally get along with all the other towns in the country. You can even choose to build your own town with your own rules and have a road connected to the rest.
On the other hand places like Facebook or Twitter are like huge, walled cities where you can only interact with people inside that city. They also claim the rights to all of your data to sell off.
Nice analogy, I might repost this to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I might even go one level up. The Fedeverse is like a network of connected countries like the EU.
Platforms like Reddit or Twitter are isolated countries like North Korea.
I'm glad I found my way out.

Good.
The barrier to entry is a feature! All those fools on FB and Reddit are there because they're told there's no friction. It's the internet version of Wal-Mart. Anyone can find their way in.
I want to hang with people who are at least smart enough to tie their shoes sign up for a Costco membership. It's a LOW barrier to entry, and that's more than enough.
