Instances aren’t necessarily a thing in atProto because an instance usually refers to a single server. But you can see people’s posts from selfhosted PDS/relays yes.
The full atproto up and running with bluesky is only in the last month or so, so people are finally starting to trickle out and set up their own services and hosts.

Then yeah, that sounds like federation to me.
Yes! Actually.

It’s actually very promising and hopeful.
TIL, thanks!
