Federation is the process that pulls content in from other servers (e.g. lemmy.world, beehaw.org, fedia.io, mastodon.social, etc.) All of these different servers can communicate and share content with each other.

If you turn federation off, you only see content from your "home" server, which in your case is kbin.social (in mine it's remy.city).
