developments to this point:

Somebody pointed out that it's not dissimilar from the way email works, where someone with a gmail account can easily email someone with a yahoo account, and that everyone understands that well enough. It's presented a lot differently, so that regular users don't even have to think about it - if anything, they can just think of the snail mail metaphor to understand it - but maybe there's a way to simplify Lemmy onboarding too.
