lemmy is a type of website that looks like reddit, a lemmy instance is one of those website.
Ideally, all of the different website that runs lemmy can display and interract with all the other lemmy websites, but since 3 random americans can’t be put in a room together without fighting, some websites running lemmy don’t want to talk to each others, so the plenty of sites running lemmy have to allow each others to communicate with each others, like friend invites on facebook, those are called federations.
