I just told my fairly tech-unsavvy partner the email analogy:
You sign up on Google, I sign up on yahoo, my bro-in-law runs his own from a server in his house. We can all email each other and the email looks mostly the same no matter who reads it, but yahoo isn't Google isn't my bro-in-law. Lemmy = email in general, yahoo = lemmy.ml, Google = lemmy.world, etc.
She immediately got it and has an account on some instance and has subscribed to a bunch of places.
Yep, it's email but with a nice interface and open 'threads' which we can post on.
When can we get an emacs client for lemmy?
This is probably my favorite analogy for it so far, at least as a high level overview. I kind of made the same connection myself and that’s when it clicked for me.
This is a great way to think about it! Thank you. I'll be using this to help explain it to my friends

The email analogy has got to be the best way to describe the fediverse that I've seen so far.
