We have the Fediverse now, Lemmy is only part of it. That said, I’d rather have the Fediverse than any version of reddit if I had to choose.
Yeah, I still don’t fully understand the fediverse thing, but I’m on here so I guess that’s a start lol
It’s like email, where you can send messages between yahoo and google, except that concept for social media networks.
Federation is just the idea that different systems communicate and share using a common protocol.
Email is federated, i.e. emails have a specification to how they can be sent. The fediverse uses activitypub, which allows for sharing of content between servers.

This actually makes so much sense now.
Basically, it’s just websites that can talk to each other.
