Hello. I am from Korea. I heard of Lemmy while I was browsing the Korean community DCinside. I thought lemmy.world was “the” Lemmy community. But it turns out each community is hosted by different people, which are divided into smaller communities?
Lemmy is not well known in South Korea. To be honest I don’t really know how this federated system works. But I do hope people can take a look at communities not funded by corporate.
Ah okay, that solves my question. While it’s true that I’m basically visiting totally different websites for each instance, admins only know what is happening on their server.
After reading some other sources about Lemmy I guess it’s more about freedom and data resilience, than avoiding tracking and unwanted data collection
Anyways I’m glad someone gave me a detailed explanation upon my first visit - I am grateful!
