What are some good resources to learn and get an overview of how federation between servers is actually handled?

I am aware that data is shared / duplicated between instances, but I want to know the actual technical scope of it – and how is the data flowing and being stored.

Take a look at the documentation of Lemmy.

The server-to-server communication uses the ActivityPub protocol
