ok, I do understand how different lemmy/kbin instances can communicate, but I always thought, that different applications (like Mastadon or some micro blogging stuff) has their own federated network.
they are all interconnected? Oo
out of curiosity, how (with which other federated service) do you access Lemmy content on another service?
edit: someone down already posted this overview https://axbom.com/fediverse/
I’m still not entirely sure how all is connected and works together.
i think, I have to read up. if anyone has some further links to read into, I’d be very happy :-)
@naeap@reiver Hi … I’m on the fediverse too, but not on lemmy either! Welcome!
The simple answer to your question is that lemmy users (such as yourself) and lemmy communities (such as !fediverse@lemmy.ml) appear as similar kinds of things here. You look like a user here, so I can look at all of your lemmy posts etc by just clicking on your name.
And lemmy communities basically look just like users too, which I can follow, except they “boost” (like re-tweeting) everything posted in them.

@naeap @reiver I’m on Mastodon and I’m talking to you on Lemmy because they are federated
