I think there may be a few informal "levels" of federation.

1. Publishing - users on your platform have profiles visible to the Fediverse (username@yourplatform.example). Other users on the Fediverse can follow your users remotely. When users on your platform make or do something, notifications and content are sent to their followers.

2. Monitoring feedback - users on your platform can see likes, shares, and comments from users on the Fediverse. They can reply to, like, and share comments from users on the Fediverse.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://cosocial.ca/users/evan/statuses/116194053585734125 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
