if it works like as you mention. isn't it simply a "share it" feature like most social media have? like if you copy and post a link from youtube to your facebook wall page. If alot of people misunderstood the idea, it means there is something wrong with the marketing and introduction of the fediverse. That is my problem with fediverse in general, they introduces alot of jargons (instance, magazine, etc.); making transitioning from other social platform difficult. Don't get me wrong, I'm trying to understand it since I truly am planning to leave reddit altogether but not all people have the patience to understand everything like i am.
