[Lemmy](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy) is similar to sites like [Reddit](https://reddit.com), [Lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs), [Raddle](https://raddle.me), or [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/): you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the [Fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse).
|
||||
|

*The word “fediverse” (federated universe) refers to the network of all Lemmy servers [and other projects](https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/why-activitypub-is-the-future/), users of which are able to talk to each other seamlessly.*

Like email, whether you sign up on GMail or Outlook, you know you’ll be able to email everyone you need to, as long as you know their address. On Lemmy you're able to subscribe to communities on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere.

If what you want to talk about most fits into a clear category (maybe it’s video games or art or queer life or coding or fiction, etc) then it might be worth making your first server one where that will primarily host that sort of content – it’ll be easier to make connections and find like-minded folk. Think of your server as a neighbourhood or a venue, where the general chatter can have a specific focus.

|
|||
- BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances.
|
||||
- Open: Federate with all potential instances.
|
||||
|
||||
**Federation is not set up by default.** You can add this [this federation block](https://github.com/lemmynet/lemmy/blob/main/config/config.hjson#L64) to your `lemmy.hjson`, and ask other servers to add you to their allowlist.
|
||||
**Federation is enabled by default.** You can add allowed and blocked instances, by adding a comma-delimited list in your instance admin panel. IE to only federate with these instances, add: `enterprise.lemmy.ml,lemmy.ml` to the allowed instances section.
|
||||
|
||||
Lemmy uses the ActivityPub protocol (a W3C standard) to enable federation between different servers (often called instances). This is very similar to the way email works. For example, if you use gmail.com, then you can not only send mails to other gmail.com users, but also to yahoo.com, yandex.ru and so on. Email uses the SMTP protocol to achieve this, so you can think of ActivityPub as "SMTP for social media". The amount of different actions possible on social media (post, comment, like, share, etc) means that ActivityPub is much more complicated than SMTP.

# Federation Overview
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This document is for anyone who wants to know how Lemmy federation works, without being overly technical. It is meant provide a high-level overview of ActivityPub federation in Lemmy. If you are implementing ActivityPub yourself and want to be compatible with Lemmy, read our [ActivityPub API outline](contributing_apub_api_outline.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Documentation conventions
|
||||
|
||||
To keep things simple, sometimes you will see things formatted like `Create/Note` or `Delete/Event` or `Undo/Follow`. The thing before the slash is the Activity, and the thing after the slash is the Object inside the Activity, in an `object` property. So these are to be read as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
* `Create/Note`: a `Create` activity containing a `Note` in the `object` field
|
||||
* `Delete/Event`: a `Delete` activity containing an `Event` in the `object` field
|
||||
* `Undo/Follow`: an `Undo` activity containing a `Follow` in the `object` field
|
||||
- `Create/Note`: a `Create` activity containing a `Note` in the `object` field
|
||||
- `Delete/Event`: a `Delete` activity containing an `Event` in the `object` field
|
||||
- `Undo/Follow`: an `Undo` activity containing a `Follow` in the `object` field
|
||||
|
||||
In Lemmy we use some specific terms to refer to ActivityPub items. They are essentially our specific implementations of well-known ActivityPub concepts:
