Pretty good, can someone explain how federation works with Lemmy? Are communities linked?
I'm commenting here from another instance (feddit.de) where I'm logged in and this community is available at https://feddit.de/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
Similarly, you can just access communities from other instances here, e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
but like if there are two Gaming communities on different instances, do they merge? or are they separate?
They are separate. Think of community names like email addresses: john.smith@here.edu is different from john.smith@there.com
Similarly, gaming@lemmy.ml is different from gaming@beehaw.org
This is the best explanation.
