That's a really good analogy.

The email one works too once they realize they've never actually thought about what an email is. Like:

"If I send you an email from gmail, you can open it in outlook, right?" "Yeah"

"That's because an email is just a file that both gmail and outlook can use" "makes sense"

"Can I see your Twitter post on Reddit?" "No of course not"

"But i can see Lemmy (Reddit) posts on Mastodon (Twitter). And these apps aren't owned by huge companies. Normal people run each instance, and the software is free for anyone to use or host."

I've heard that you can view Lemmy posts on Mastodon and vice versa, but I can't wrap my head around it. I don't think I've ever seen a Mastodon post on Lemmy, or maybe I have and just didn't realize it?

What's a Lemmy post on Mastodon look like? And what's a Mastodon post on Lemmy look like?

You ever notice those post replies that @ people's username or names at the beginning of the comment?. Those are from Mastodon.
