Damn and here I am trying to understand what instances even are.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Think of instances as "continents" where communities (think of them as "countries") and users set up their base. For example, you're now in the lemmy.world instance. That means you are a resident of the lemmy.world instance.

You can "travel" to other instances and participate in the communities they have there too and vice versa.
