    I didn't answer this one. I usually do people as nodes, with some kind of boundary to indicate instances. Thanks all!

    A network diagram. Five people connected by lines. Boundaries with dotted lines around 1-2-2 groups. Connections cross the dotted lines.

    I get the good intentions of the encyclopedia diagrams showing the different software packages, but I do not think it works at all.

    @evan Nodes should always be the entities signing posts IMO. If users cannot sign posts with their own keys, then you're not actually following that person and the person is not their own node. You're following a URL/ID on the actual node, which you trust to not lie to you about which person they're posting content for.

    Hopefully, this will improve eventually, so that people have full sovereignty, also for moving between instances. Should be like changing your postal address, not your passport.

    @evan One of the nodes could be a group and another one a bot to illustrate the possible variations. Otherwise I like this illustration much better than the more common impersonal ones.
