just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.
Why?
It has some censorship problems, the devs (who run the instance) are tankies, and pro-russia/china
Alright where next? I’m not invested in this space
lemm.ee, the instance you are on, is fine. In fact, the admins are great people.
I’m so sorry but you have to spell this out to me
What is the difference between lemmy and lem.ee? And I suppose I should ask “where am I?”
Is this like people individually hosting their own reddits?
You can browse by "local" and "all" with the tab at the top of the page. Local is posts from just your instance, all is everything not defederated with your instance.
That's why I suggest people go to a instance with as few deferations as possible. You can block instances, communities, and users. You know what you want to see. You don't need a admin to tell you what you want to see.
I'm glad instances with tons of defederations exist for those who want that, but that's not for me.
So, lemm.ee is a lemmy instance, its like its own mini-reddit. lemmy.world is another instance. You can follow communities accross instances though.
Its ppl copying the content on each others servers and all hosting frontends/backends that serve the same content. The site is where your content is hosted, like if you upload a pic its to that instance and based on their upload rules for size. I think lemm.ee has like a 50mb limit while some have much higher limits. All of your posts/comments originate from your site and then get coppied to any site that hasnt blocked it and has communicated with it before. (Me subscribing to a lemmy.world community from my instance would count as communicating so they would federate and posts from that community and other communiteis on that instance would show up on mine in the future)
Like if you hosted a site that was an exact clone of mine that copied or linked content over everytime it was posted to match the other.
You can read this, hopefully it will help: https://lemm.ee/post/54947321/18643464
