First please don’t ban me I’m new.
lemmy.world, lemmy.ml , lemmy.xxx, lemmy.whatever, etct… + hundreds of clones. Is each of these a Reddit by itself containing many subreddits inside it?
Does that mean if someone in lemmy.xxx/c/jokes posted something interesting that I wont even see it because I’m signed up in lemmy.yyy/c/jokes ?
That is quite a weakness of lemmy compared to reddit. Can I post on lemmy.yyy if I signed up for lemmy.xxx or do I have to sign up for each of them?
Which one should I sign up for?
How can I see all lemmy posts in one place? I can’t believe no one has found a solution to this yet and just let hundreds of clones post repeated things. Also how is each moderated? Is lemmy.yyy moderated by sensitive snowflakes who ban anyone who cusses or offends anyone, while lemmy.xxx is ran by racist nazis? How does this work?
So federation is like medieval kingdoms. I am a citizen of Kbin so they know me and give me a token. Now I can use this Kbin token to get to any kingdom that let’s me in lemmy.world or beehaw. They don’t know me but they know that their buddy earnest at the kingdom of Kbin can vouch for me. So they let me in.
So won’t need a login at these other places since I can use my Kbin token. So with a single login can work to talk to any who let’s me.
If a site is defederated that means two kingdoms are fighting. So the lemmy.world token won’t let you into beehaw because they are defederated.
