Pretty good, can someone explain how federation works with Lemmy? Are communities linked?

[-] awdsns@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago

I'm commenting here from another instance (feddit.de) where I'm logged in and this community is available at https://feddit.de/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Similarly, you can just access communities from other instances here, e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

but like if there are two Gaming communities on different instances, do they merge? or are they separate?

[-] awdsns@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago

They are separate. Think of community names like email addresses: john.smith@here.edu is different from john.smith@there.com

This is the best explanation.
