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 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.
