I’m glad this community is here because I feel very stupid. I’ve seen videos likening the fediverse to email and phone networks. Some of what I’ve seen implies that not only are lemmy instances connected but lemmy instances can also be connected with mastodon, peertube, and others. Is this true? How to I connect to other instances or even other platforms?

    I’m not on lemmy.world but I can see and reply to content there.

    You can view and post on almost any other server.

    Like how Reddit posts can link to but are different from YouTube videos, Lemmy posts can reference other services, but they don’t directly interact.

      Thank you. I was frustrated when I found a community from lem.ee and couldn’t log on to lem.ee with my current account. Now I see that I can search it up even though I am on lemmy.world.
