minus-squareAltima NEOlinkfedilinkEnglish12•1 year agoYeah, especially all the Reddit expats. Myself included. Took me a while to understand what federated meant and how it worked. But also what redditors want from Lemmy vs what Lemmy is are somewhat two different things.

minus-square@joshuaacasey@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoIt’s like email. With email, if you have a @gmail.com address you can communicate with @hotmail.com addresses. Well, with lemmy/mastodon/whatever they work the same way. Users don’t have to all be on the same server to interact with each other.
minus-square@MrClayman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoI’m in the same boat. I feel like I get what Lemmy is really all about now, but I also feel like I still have no idea what all of it really is. Is fun though
