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!
ok, I do understand how different lemmy/kbin instances can communicate, but I always thought, that different applications (like Mastadon or some micro blogging stuff) has their own federated network.
they are all interconnected? Oo
out of curiosity, how (with which other federated service) do you access Lemmy content on another service?
edit: someone down already posted this overview

I’m still not entirely sure how all is connected and works together.
i think, I have to read up. if anyone has some further links to read into, I’d be very happy :-)
@naeap @reiver Hi … I’m on the fediverse too, but not on lemmy either! Welcome!
The simple answer to your question is that lemmy users (such as yourself) and lemmy communities (such as !fediverse@lemmy.ml) appear as similar kinds of things here. You look like a user here, so I can look at all of your lemmy posts etc by just clicking on your name.
And lemmy communities basically look just like users too, which I can follow, except they “boost” (like re-tweeting) everything posted in them.
@naeap @reiver I’m on Mastodon and I’m talking to you on Lemmy because they are federated
