Using Lemmy is nothing at all like sending an email, this analogy needs to stop. Don't overwhelm people with jargon, just say there are different servers that interact with one another or something.
its similar in the sense that its decentralized. which is otherwise foreign to many.
Call it a framework for social media sites that are all interconnected.
It is like an internet within the internet.
Saying framework instantly would shut off my family members brain.
Would it be any better if the word cloud was used, instead of framework?
I think functionally it doesn’t matter for a user, you just login via an app or webpage. If you don’t have your own instance, then it’s all the same to you.
