ELI5: How does Lemmy operate?
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.
You're viewing a single thread.

You can think of it like emails.A lemmy community is like an automated mailbox that sends everything they receive to all subscribers.
You can host a mailing list/community on gmail.
Then you can subscribe to the mailing list from outlook.
Then a user can send a post to the mailing list from yahoo.
The automated mailbox at gmail will receive the message from yahoo and send it to outlook and all other subscribers.
This is more of an ELI75 lol
Ha ha, no 75 year old is going to understand that either.
"What's an email? Is that like a phone?"
Lmao 🤣
