As the title indicates, how does Lemmy work?
I recently inquired in a couple other communities about necessities (whether it be hardware or software, ect) and guidance to create a server/instance and decided I may be better off understanding how this realm works and operates as my starting point, then move into the hardware side, then continue to the Sofware and setup.
Reddit is one website where everything lives. The website is made of many different parts that all run on computers that are owned/controlled by Reddit.
Lemmy is multiple sites where everything lives. Lemmy is made of many different parts that are run on different computers by different people.
These parts all speak the same language so for someone using Lemmy, it feels like it’s all just one website.
