    Lemmy is federated, as in there is more than one instance of Lemmy running, and they are all interconnected and synced to some degree via protocol.

    So you’re able to interact with one community on one instance from another instance.

    Kinda like how you can email someone with @gmail.com @yahoo.com

    Or at least that’s my understanding. I just started learning about the Fediverse yesterday.
