I am currently using Lemmy.zip through the app voyager.

I can also see content from other places like hexbear and fedinsfw.

If I login to lemmy.zip on a desktop I can use my voyager credentials. But I am only able to view lemmy.world and nothing else here.

If I login to fedinsfw on desktop I can seemingly access a multitude of places such as I can on voyager, including lemmy.zip.

I’m sorry if this is such a dumb thing to get confused about. I’ve heard explanation for what all this is, but I’m still just not quite sure I understand.

    https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/01-getting-started.html This page does a good job of explaining things. Probably answers questions that you may not even have yet.

    Instead of a single website like reddit.com, there are many different websites (called instances). These are operated by different people, have different topics and rules. Nevertheless, posts created in one instance can directly be seen by users who are registered on another. Its basically like email, but for social media.

    FediNSFW, lemmy.world, and lemmy.zip are examples of instances.
