Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Uh, reddthat.com on a browser. It was just the first thing I signed up for. (And I should admit that I donβt understand most of what you said. π)
Yeah, it's not that easy to navigate. Let me try to untangle your thinking:
You created a Fediverse account on the reddthat.com server. reddthat.com runs lemmy, which is a reddit-like software. Because they federate with other servers, you can read and write posts from other servers that run lemmy, too. For example, the Ask Lemmy community runs on the lemmy.world server.
Most servers that run the lemmy software use lemmy's default web interface to show content. It's called lemmy-ui and it's pretty decent. However, because lemmy runs on the Fediverse, the web interface and the server are independent. You can choose from a ton of different web interfaces. Check this list for reference.

PWA = Progressive Web App. It's like an app/browser hybrid The rest of the lexicon that confused you is prolly just proper terms for frontends which you can read about here:
