First please don’t ban me I’m new.
lemmy.world, lemmy.ml , lemmy.xxx, lemmy.whatever, etct… + hundreds of clones. Is each of these a Reddit by itself containing many subreddits inside it?
Does that mean if someone in lemmy.xxx/c/jokes posted something interesting that I wont even see it because I’m signed up in lemmy.yyy/c/jokes ?
That is quite a weakness of lemmy compared to reddit. Can I post on lemmy.yyy if I signed up for lemmy.xxx or do I have to sign up for each of them?
Which one should I sign up for?
How can I see all lemmy posts in one place? I can’t believe no one has found a solution to this yet and just let hundreds of clones post repeated things. Also how is each moderated? Is lemmy.yyy moderated by sensitive snowflakes who ban anyone who cusses or offends anyone, while lemmy.xxx is ran by racist nazis? How does this work?
Edit: Thank you I read all comments and thank you some where very helpful. and I hope things get improved and added with time. here for the long ride
What I don’t understand yet is kbin vs a Lemmy instance. I have an account on kbin, and I understand this post comes from a Lemmy instance. So kbin can view posts from Lemmy instances it’s connected to. But my understanding is that I couldn’t use a Lemmy client with my kbin login. I’m waiting for a beta invite for #Artemis but even when I have that, it sounds like it wouldn’t support Lemmy right away. So do I need to also register on a Lemmy instance? And how would I juggle logins?
So federation is like medieval kingdoms. I am a citizen of Kbin so they know me and give me a token. Now I can use this Kbin token to get to any kingdom that let’s me in lemmy.world or beehaw. They don’t know me but they know that their buddy earnest at the kingdom of Kbin can vouch for me. So they let me in.
So won’t need a login at these other places since I can use my Kbin token. So with a single login can work to talk to any who let’s me.
If a site is defederated that means two kingdoms are fighting. So the lemmy.world token won’t let you into beehaw because they are defederated.
Think of it this way: your Gmail email can send and receive emails from a Hotmail email, but you cannot login in Hotmail with your Gmail account.

since kbin is just lemmy + mastodon it’s been my main, but I got a lemmy account to check out the apps.
Kbin combining Mastodon toots and also incorporating a nested-comment discussion like reddit/lemmy makes it superior.
That and lemmy developers are all tankies and openly support shitty political views about human rights violations. Not going to support that crap.
Kbin pleb here. Lemmy appears to be preferred.
I have dealt with tankies on Lemmy.ml
Weird love for daddy stalin and Mao… Obviosly China is helping people with education… And Russia didn’t invade Ukraine, but if it did Ukraine deserved it…
But other wise Lemmy instances don’t seem to spill this trash over beyond rogue trolls.
My understanding is Lemmy.ml is devs pet project and they keep there.
I am seeing posts about alt right facist daily on here but I have yet to see anything beyond obscure links when I ask.
Either way, people can have their views and they can express them, rest of us can make up our own minds as long as they are not bad faith trolling or try to derail discussions.
So far, so good for me
