Federation during development
---
Federation doesn't work without SSL, without a domain name or without your server being accessible from outside your network. So, when running on http://127.0.0.1:5000 you have none of those.
The site will still run without federation. You can create local communities and post in them...
My way around this is to use ngrok.com, which is a quick and simple way to create a temporary VPN with a domain and SSL. On the free plan your domain changes often, which will break federation every time you reconnect. $10 per month will get you https://yourwhatever.ngrok.app which won't change.
