So is fediverse basically a bunch of servers, and Lemmy and Mastodon are like, different interfaces to access those servers? (I’m not sure I understand how fediverse works)
It’s like in real life how people talk, to simplify e.g. we’re all speaking english here. Where as facebook speaks only facebook, twitter speaks only twitter, and reddit speaks only reddit… these instances all speak ActivityPub.
Think of a banana split. Lemmy is the chocolate ice cream, mastodon is the vanilla, kbin is the strawberry, etc., etc. they are all different flavors. However, they are all in one “dish” that is the Fediverse.
Doesn’t matter what flavor of ice cream you are eating, it’s still ice cream at its base and thus they speak a common language underneath it all.
