Question about BBJ & Interconnects? tilde.town & tilde.club? by paulgupta | tildeverse BBJ

I'm also a member on tilde.town, I see tilde.club's BBJ interface is readable online via the web. Is this BBJ instance shared beyond members of tilde.club? Is tilde.town's instance local only to that server?

How federated are most communications across tildes? I see tildeverse and think "federated like mastodon" but is it more "local servers of small communities?"

How much overlap is there between the tildes?

Are there common forums for all tilde users, or is it intentionally kept small?

Just curious and not sure who or where to ask. I can't keep up with IRC with small children and much prefer asynchronous communication.

i'm not an expert by any means, but all the tildes i'm in (which, to be fair, is only four total) seem to run on the same instance of bbj with the exception of ~town. town has its own bbj. club, green, and cosmic.voyage all appear to share this instance. in general, though, i'd say it's kept small on purpose, haha
