federating between instances should have nothing to do with it.
Dan is presenting a feature where a user views another profile and then they can see mutuals. This can be done if Mastodon would load *all* the information (including follower list) about the profile when you view it from your own instance, instead of relying only on data that has been previously federated.
It's a *trivial* feature that Mastodon is lacking, and I feel like that's what the toot you quoted complains about.
