Okay this federated stuff is really growing on me.
The idea that you can sign up on any server, and still have a feed from many different servers is pretty cool.
It’s like email but Reddit style
Yeah, I read that before, but I didn't really understand what that meant.
Email is federated as well. You sign up to a server (ex. Gmail.com), then you use and interact only with gmail.com, but you can then tell gmail to send an email to another server such as outlook, and it’s the same for their users.
Difference being the content is public here, whereas email isn’t, and Lemmy also uses ActivityPub which is a standard to forward messages between servers.
