There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

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.
