Locked for now. Will reopen if there is interest.
Inspired by r/eli5 and Casually Explained.
Now Lemmy Explain: Starting the "Now Lemmy Explain" community.
I've always felt like the name "Explain Like I'm 5" is patronizing (yes, I know, it's from an Office joke). I want to see a community that's better and more entertaining to read than how it was on reddit.
Now Lemmy Explain: The Rules:
- All post title must start with "Now Lemmy Explain: "
- All topics are allowed (within reason) but try to avoid ones that will start a flame war.
- Keep your explanation concise and entertaining. Remember though, comedy is subjective.
- Be excellent to one another, and have fun.
- If you see someone else do a great job explaining a particular topic, you are encouraged to cross-post it here, but be sure to credit the original poster for their contributions.

Think of the Fediverse as the world and each instance as a different country. Your account on the Fediverse is like your passport, so while you only have one passport belonging to your home country (Your home instance), you can use that passport to travel to different countries around the world.
Lemmy, Mastodon and PixelFed are like the different cultures of the world, while each place has its own way of displaying content, you can travel between them and see them all the same.
