I'd love to hear this e-mail analogy.
This is the one that clicked for me credit to Matthieu@piaille.fr
You can think of it like emails.
A lemmy community is like an automated mailbox that sends everything they receive to all subscribers.
You can host a mailing list/community on gmail.
Then you can subscribe to the mailing list from outlook.
Then a user can send a post to the mailing list from yahoo.
The automated mailbox at gmail will receive the message from yahoo and send it to outlook and all other subscribers.
