I’m in Lemmy.world, but I’ve seen there are others. Do I have to switch in between them (if so, how?) or is it fine the way I have it?

Thanks a lot.

      Because Lemmy isn’t a website. It’s software that runs social content aggregation sites.

      It’s like what WordPress is for blogs and other unidirectional content serving websites.

      The fun thing is, though, that any website running Lemmy can share content posted to it with any other website running Lemmy.

      It’s only confusing because corporate social media has taught us that “service = place”.

      Because that’s the whole point of being decentralised. Nobody gets everything.

      If there was just one “Lemmy”, we’d be back to another monolithic Reddit again.

      That’s the basis of the whole system, they use the same protocol to communicate(activity pub) and share content.

      It allows anyone to run their own version of reddit and they can decide which other servers they want to have content from
