Hello, I’m sorry in advance if this is a noob question. I am new to Lemmy and the Fediverse.

As far as I understand, Lemmy is part of the Fediverse, but if I search for “Lemmy” here it will not find it. It seems to be full of instances from Mastodon.

Can someone help me understand why Lemmy isn’t there? Thank you!

    not only that, you might see some people around who aren’t even on Lemmy! Lemmy is on the same network as Mastodon, Calckey, Pixelfed, Peertube, and several other social media platforms, so people can post and reply to Lemmy discussions no matter what they’re using

      Yeah this is incredible actually. This technology could become very popular with just a few simple changes to signup flows and user interfaces, and I see what’s needed, but on the other hand, I actually don’t want too many people to join us.

      It’s good with a bit of a barrier right now so we don’t have to deal with moderation issues caused by people who just want to cause conflicts.
