it's funny, because I'm reading your comment from lemmy! to me, you're already "on Lemmy" so good job.
In old man terms: it's just a bunch of websites that talk to each other. we share links and memes, using some sites with a reddit aesthetic (lemmy), some with a twitter aesthetic (mastodon), but all (most of) the content gets posted to each other. me, I found my way here from the announcement being linked on Lemmy.
and you're not missing much from the announcement. they didn't really say anything substantial. it's all just corporate speak - bedazzled promises yet to be delivered. we'll see what they launch when they launch it, but i stopped caring by the time i read "innovate" and "revolution". at the end of the day it's gonna be pizzas and cats.
Unfortunately this is far from true. Mastodon and Lemmy have fundamental federation issues. But that's nuance that isn't important to people who are probably never going to use Lemmy (or SubLinks) directly.
And SubLinks is going to be more interesting to admins of Lemmy and app developers for Lemmy than users for some time, so I get the apathetic response.
yeah i think omitting defederation from the initial explanation makes it more digestible. It'd have been better to say Most instead of All though, yeah
