You can follow and interact with your friends from other servers, and the experience is identical.
For example, you and I are having a conversation now and we are on different servers. If we were on the same server, the conversation would be identical.
It's like email: it doesn't matter if your friends use a different email provider, the experience of exchanging emails is identical.
I like the way non-users can see the trending posts etc in Explore, it gives them a better feel for what they might see on the server and the Fediverse.
However, one thing greatly concerns me about this new landing page, the server's identity is invisible to outsiders. There's no longer any custom picture or custom intro text, and it would make servers look identical.
It's also quite hard to see the "about this server" link to look up more info including the server's rules.
