    Yes. You could somewhat see it as a combination between e-mail and Reddit.

    When you want to send an e-mail to me, it doesn’t matter what e-mail provider you or I use. I could be using [email protected] and you could be using [email protected] or even some self-hosted, custom instance like [email protected]. It doesn’t matter, all those accounts and e-mail servers can interact with each other.

    Similarly with Lemmy, you can subscribe and interact with communities on other instances with your Beehaw account. They are compatible with each other. But instead of e-mail data, they exchange Lemmy data. Anyone can join an excising Lemmy instance/server or even host their own instance if they wanted too.
