What exactly is lemmy.org? Is it just one of the Lemmy communities, or is it the main scene of the network?

    Hello fellow humans. What a great day to be… um… doing human things like breathe air and um… hand shakingly grabs glass of water drink water gurgling sounds

    Lemmy is a federated platform where each instance is run independently but can interact with all the other ones. lemmy.org is such an instance.

    Your account is on it (written sulegulmen@lemmy.org) but I (KubrickFR@lemmy.world) can see and reply to your post on the community c/asklemmy (similar to r/something on Reddit)

    Hope this is useful, I’m no expert…

    Maybe it’s the original? I don’t know. Doesn’t really matter. The Fediverse means all these Lemmy instances are networked, meaning if one kicks you off it you decide you don’t like it, you can join another, as opposed to Reddit, where if you say something one group doesn’t like, they can kick you off the whole platform.
