I know there are posts out there explaining this quite well, but I would love an ELI5 version. What is Lemmy and the Fediverse?

    It’s a version of Reddit built on the Fediverse.

    The Fediverse is a system that combines a centralised collection of content with an early-internet free-for-all for content delivery. That’s good because it feels like social media (in theory) but nobody actually owns it.
