    Lemmy is a reddit-alike software that can be deployed on different servers. So everybody who wants to, and has a shiny domain, can run said software…

    Often they choose subdomains like lemmy.example.com and mastodon.example.com . However, lemmy and mastodon share a same communications protocol. Thats why they are in parts compatible…

    You can basically be on your mastodon server and then some lemmy content shows up.

    The operator of mastodon.world choose to share a lemmy installation via lemmy.world.
