The fact that Lemmy/Kbin is weird and inaccessible to most normal people actually makes it perfect for Redditors. - Lemmy.world

This truly is Reddit’s successor.

Say I made a post to some specific subreddit from apollo. How does the app decide which lemmy community to use, on which instance? Or if I voted or made a comment, on which post on which community on which instance should it land?

I don't think this is a serviceable idea.

The app doesn't decide which community to post in; you do. When you pick a community for the post to go to, you might pick [email protected], in which case it becomes hosted by the beehaw.org server. Or you might pick [email protected], in which case it's hosted by the lemmy.world server. If you vote or comment on the post that's on beehaw.org, the vote/comment is hosted there as well, and likewise for lemmy.world.

Perhaps the important point is that [email protected] and [email protected] are different communities, just like how [email protected] and [email protected] are different email addresses, even though they're both Neo.

Sorry for the confusing comment, it ended up in completely wrong post.
