Yeah, there is a massive movement right now. It'll get there. I have tech friends that don't quite get it. It's so simple for me. I'm struggling to find an easy way to explain in.

Once I saw someone point out that it's the same as email "bob@outlook.com" can email "debby@gmail.com" without having a gmail account it clicked. Also there can be a "bob@outlook" and a "bob@gmail" and they aren't necessarily the same. It's a hidden understanding people don't know they already have. But the main thing preventing me from advocating other users is that the UX isn't quite there. When it works its excellent but there are unquestionably a few rough edges. But it'll get there :)

I tried that... didn't work.

This was my latest attempt

There are instances with communities (Reddits with subreddits).

If one or more instances links up, they can share those communities. This is done by the instance federating and copying down the data from the other instance and then working with that instance to stay in sync.
 Examples:
A->All the instances run this. But one is the data master; they all report back when a change is made in their instance. C->Only red is interacting with this community D->Only Red & Yellow interact with this community. latest attempt

I admit the graph needs more work, but it's a wip... just like lemmy :)

I just tell people that each instance is like a country and users are able to move and interact with each other. Some countries revoke passport rights to/from other countries.

That's genius; I love it! I'm going to start using that one. Thanks!
