What do you think about this graphic?

It should give an easy overview of the architecture of the Fediverse and what it differentiates from old social media.

There's no central authority here. But if it doesn't matter which instance you are on, then all the users on Lemmy are still just part of Lemmy.

On the graph I see other icons than Lemmy.

Are we able to see content from other social media? Or what is meant with that

Certain other content crosses boarders. Mastadon especially. Whenever you see people replying to messages and it starts with some sort of @[email protected] tagging, you're probably eavesdropping on a Mastadon thread and you don't even know it.
