I struggled to determine what exactly this was, at first. The docs[1] are fairly clear, though: "Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, Raddle, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse. ... Note: Federation is still in active development" Also a useful post: "What is lemmy.ml"[2] [1] https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html [2] https://lemmy.ml/post/70280 https://lemmy.ml/post/70280
