Hello,
New to the Fediverse and there is some learning to do.
I heard if I had signed up for one instance, I will be able to see all communities across the board.
My question is, Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml both have Worldnews comms. I can see the Lemmy.world one in Lemmy.ml with the url worldnews@lemmy.world. And vice versa. And sub to them accordingly right?
So this means there can be a repeat of communities across the fediverse?
Think of it like email. Same email can exist @gmail or @icloud or @outlook. It’s generally good for everyone to rally behind the same one though but it’s not a requirement.
why is it good? i thought the whole point was not to do centralization like that? I am having some trouble wrapping my headaround the idea of federated communities so I coud be missing something.
