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.

    Reddit is like going to Chucky Cheese for your birthday. It’s fun, but it feels a little forced and ultimately the point is for Chucky Cheese to sell you terrible pizza.

    Lemmy is like being left alone during summer vacation with nothing to do and one of your friends hands out walkie-talkies and you all hang around the neighborhood and make a game of stalking the mail carrier and there’s no point but afterwards you get real pizza at Salvatore’s.

    New mod here. What’s the best way to use mod tools? There doesn’t seem to be anything in Jerboa, so is it best to use the web browser?

    @Senseibull
    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.
