   Does there exist a brief write-up of how content is federated out? Do different #ActivityPub implementors federate content differently? (@stesnac suggests so!)

   Here's my head-canon at present... when a note is created, the note is sent to all followers. If users are mentioned, the note is also sent to those users' inboxes.

   If a note is addressed to the public collection, do it just get blasted to all known instances' inboxes?

     @devnull @stesnac usually it just goes out to followers.

     @devnull @stesnac here's what the spec says: "Additionally, if an object is addressed to the Public special collection, a server MAY deliver that object to all known sharedInbox endpoints on the network."
