It's like reddit but the reddit part works like email. You can get emails from yahoo.com on your gmail, just like you can interact with users and communities hosted on different instances.
This is what I used with my more technically friends and family. I think its really intuitive with the community/magazine url format <community>@<domain>.
The best explanation Iโve seen, for gamers, is tha reddit is like Xbox live. Lemmy is PlayStation and kbin is pc (or however). And kbin and lemmy have cross play enabled so you can play together.
Or you can sub Reddit for mastodon etc.
