I'm new here, I don't even know what the fediverse is. What does this mean?
As Goat has said, this platform (Lemmy) is comprised of instances, some, like Lemmy.world, are general instances, and some have a specific theme or type of content they cater to. There's one for furry porn, one for regular porn, for example, and one for utterly insufferable Internet communists who make a point of behaving badly in other communities.
The fediverse is an interconnected community composed of instances. Every website is its own instance that can communicate with other instances
So right now I'm on sh.itjust.works, and you're on lemmy.world.
The Fediverse is much more than just that. You just described the Lemmy (and kbin?) part of it. The Xitter alternative Mastodon for example is another part of the Fediverse among many others.
YOU WILL SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TO MOTHERFUCKER
So you're good now
God damnit 😔
Welcome my guy
