When I first looked into Lemmy I thought picking an instance confined you to that instance. I think a lot of new people don’t realize that isn’t the case.
It’s definitely a new concept for people. I’ve been on Mastodon for a while so I’m already used to the idea of multiple instances
I think over time more people will figure it out and it won’t be so confusing. Like how people intuitively understand that if you have a Gmail account you can still send emails to people on Outlook

Having to register on new ones is annoying though.
But you don’t need to right? You just access other instances through your own? (I actually don’t understand at all but I think this is correct)

It’s like email. You can access anyone who has an email on a different server unless your server admin blocks them.
