Would be helpful for most new users to understand how Lemmy works and how the different hosts interact with each other in a basic way.

    You can think of it like emails.

    A lemmy community is like an automated mailbox that sends everything they receive to all subscribers.

    You can host a mailing list/community on gmail.

    Then you can subscribe to the mailing list from outlook.

    Then a user can send a post to the mailing list from yahoo.

    The automated mailbox at gmail will receive the message from yahoo and send it to outlook and all other subscribers.
