    I did this and he just said, “so it’s like email servers, but for more than emails?” I can’t believe this is the best way to put it.

      Not even email. Usenet is almost identical to Lemmy. There are many Usenet servers which talk to each other and synchronize their message groups. And you connect to one of them with a local account.

      IRC as well but more chat like.

      Of course there are differences in the fediverse but the big concepts are hardly new. People are trying to overcomplicate it.
