Would be helpful for most new users to understand how Lemmy works and how the different hosts interact with each other in a basic way.

    What’s the difference between the multiple lemmy instances and something else also ActivityPub based like kbin? Is lemmy.ml vs lemmy.world the same as comparing lemmy.world with kbin.social? I have accounts with both Lemmy and Kbin and confused a bit by what I’m seeing, and also Threads vs Magazines vs Microblogs haha. So much to learn about the fediverse!

      Well, the software they run is different. The frontend looks different, etc. Lemmy can connect with kbin, as well as Mastodon, so it’s just one big network at the end of the day.
