You are correct about how federation works, for example I'm on an instance that I've spun up myself and everyone on here can still comment on threads that are not from my instance, and everyone else sees it so long as they haven't specifically blocked my instance (which AFAIK no one has yet, and I'd like to keep it that way of course).
Ah, making your own instance is a really good idea! Then you're not at the mercy of others. Very cool! I might think about doing something similar at some point.
