“You don’t need to register for copyright in Australia. The moment an idea or creative concept is documented on paper or electronically it is automatically protected by copyright in Australia. Copyright protection is free and automatic under the Copyright Act 1968.”

The same applies here in NZ (although my instance is currently residing in AU)
That’s what I said.
You can’t enforce it without it being registered. Courts will reject any claim that is filled with unregistered copyright.
I think the problem is that you’re not explaining which country you’re thinking of, and seem to be suggesting it’s the same legal situation everywhere
The concept of needing to register copyright does not exist in most countries. In many countries you just have it and you can enforce it.
Fediverse servers do exist outside of the USA so this is relevant for people who run those servers.
No, there is no need to register copyright in Australia.
