Might be the right time to share this old short (<2min) video about the Fediverse? There’s still too much misinformation on Reddit claiming that “Lemmy is not for the average user”.

(video hosted by a PeerTube instance, also a federated platform 😁)

    So Lemmy.world and Kbin are service providers? If so then how, using Lemmy.world, do I connect to other service providers or am I already connected and just don’t realize it. That is one part I am struggling with right now. Anyway, really enjoying my time here.

      Assume you went to programming.dev (another Lemmy instance) and found this nice !programming community that you want to join. You don’t need to create a new account there. You can just go to the search box on your current instance (lemmy.world) and type !programming@programming.dev and click on “Search”. It will show you a link to that community but through lemmy.world. You can then click it and subscribe to that community. Everything will be as if you are on programming.dev.

        Thank you! So by default, when come to Lemmy.world are the “posts” (not sure if that is the right term) I see on the lemmy.world instance only? If I subscribe to one like you said will it start to show in my default view? I’m probably just trying to apply my Reddit thinking here and need to change my perspective.

        I am a software engineer and have interest in creating tools to help but feel like I need a better understanding of the fediverse first.
