Might be the right time to share this old short (<2min) video about the Fediverse? There’s still too much misinformation on Reddit claiming that “Lemmy is not for the average user”.

(video hosted by a PeerTube instance, also a federated platform 😁)

    Thank you! So by default, when come to Lemmy.world are the “posts” (not sure if that is the right term) I see on the lemmy.world instance only? If I subscribe to one like you said will it start to show in my default view? I’m probably just trying to apply my Reddit thinking here and need to change my perspective.

    I am a software engineer and have interest in creating tools to help but feel like I need a better understanding of the fediverse first.

      lemmy allows you to change the posts you see from local (only your instance) to all (every federated instance)

          No problem man :) welcome to the fediverse. BTW, if you go to settings, you can set your defaults, so you don’t have to constantly change it

      Yes! Here’s how my feed looks like (notice the Memes@lemmy.ml)
