It's tough, I'll be honest. I can't completely wrap my head around lemmy, I'm confused about seeing communities I never subrscibed to (and some I wish I didn't have to see), and can't fully understand how it works. It also just.. doesn't have the same things I used to follow, or at least I can't get them to show up. I'm struggling, and honestly don't know what to do with all that empty time. I guess it really was an addiction.
Yea it's a little jarring at first and I didn't get it for a bit. I'm seeing it now and how it all comes together. The instances are like smaller 'Reddits' that you can have different communities or 'subreddits'. So you can have a Apple community in Lemmy.World or Lemmy.ml or other places. The cool thing is that with your one account you can access all the different places without having to make a new account
This tells you all about it.
But essentially you can access all the communities across all instances but your username is only on the instance you created it on. I'm also still a bit new at this but what I understand of it is that you cannot interact on another instance with a username from another.
Don't ask me how to create usernames on other instances though 😅 I have not figured that out exactly. When I signed up I didn't get an option to choose the instance I signed up to, at least that I noticed.
