I checked this site out since Reddit is getting worse and the original 196 subreddit banned me without reason. What exactly is this website?
The official goal is for there to be 196 196s one glorious day.
Then some madman will demand 196 sets of 196 196’s. When will it end!?
The original !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone mods started power tripping, so people made their own, with blackjack and hookers.
It’s like r/games and r/gaming, you know? Different communities, different moderators, same topic. Or rather, same rule.
Ah, okay! I think the biggest hurdle for me is what seems to be multiple domains? I’ve tried reading about the “fediverse,” but I can’t really wrap my head around it
It’s just like email (or Usenet on the chance you’re old) - you have an account on lemmy.world, you can only log in on lemmy.world, but you can read and reply to users and posts on fedia.io, mander.xyz, feddit.org, etc., et al
Ah, the domains / instances are simple:
Imagine that they’re houses. Your home is lemmy.world, my home is mander.xyz. We’re both visiting lemmy.blahaj.zone, and chatting together.
And just like your house can have a kitchen that’s completely separated from my house’s kitchen, two instances can have two separated versions of the same community.
