What actually happens when servers are federated with one another? Does the content of each server get mirrored for redundancy, or does it just mean that users can see users, posts and communities from servers that are federated? When they defederate, does content that was previously visible to users just vanish completely, or is it merely that new content (created after defederation) will not be visible?
Currently it just means you can post to communities on the servers yours is federated with.
It doesn't mean you can sign into the other server with your account a la "sign in with Google/Twitter/etc." That needs to change first.
