Where does it end up and who can see it? Do they get federated?

Anyone who follows you across the fediverse can see the post

So people have to explicitly follow me to see the post? It doesn't show up on feed like mastodons?

It’s more nuanced than that. If they look at your profile from a mastodon/etc instance, they’ll see the post. If they are on an instance that has someone who follows you and watch the federated/globel feed, they’ll see the post. And a few other specific situations.
