    thanks for the link, explains it very well. how bout my activity, like IP address, up/down votes, clicks on links, favorites and whatnot, is that federated around or how does that work, i.e. who has access to it?

      Up and down votes are federated with your username, along with posts and comments (obviously).

      Clicking on links, favourites, email address (if you put one in when signing up), password and IP address are all only on your local instance.

      Basically, unless another server needs to know about it for federation to work, it’s going to be local to the instance you’re using.
