I was looking the jerboa page and it called Lemmy a “federated” alternative to Reddit. What does federated mean in this context?
It's it's own platform, but there's other platforms that cross talk and are all one for the end user.
It's basically reddits within reddits within reddits all communicating with eachother. There is a connect point between them, the individual instances, and they are ran by people willing to do so, they control the flow of communication based on the communities needs, in theory.
A greedy company can't block your access.
