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!
@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.
