    World is one of the big ones you can see them listed here https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy. The instances are just servers running lemmy. The servers can communicate with each other with the activitypub protocol if the admins allow it.

    What’s cool about this is nobody can ever “shutdown” lemmy as there are multiple servers. Also it won’t turn into a cesspit like voat because each admin can make there own rules and defederate from nastier instances. So you can have an anything goes lemmy instance or a curated instance. I really hope lemmy comes out the victor of reddit alternatives because I love the idea of it.
