FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Lemmy is federated, as in there is more than one instance of Lemmy running, and they are all interconnected and synced to some degree via protocol.
So you're able to interact with one community on one instance from another instance.
Kinda like how you can email someone with @gmail.com @yahoo.com
Or at least that's my understanding. I just started learning about the Fediverse yesterday.
