    Okay, here’s how I explained it to my kid.

    You’ve got the united states, that’s lemmy.

    You’ve got states, which are instances. Servers are the roads inthem ,and the things that keep the roads working.

    Communities are cities.

    Kbin is Canada. Mastadon is France, where they do things weird, but they’re working on the same basic principles.

    The fediverse is the UN.

    It ain’t exactly right, but it ain’t exactly wrong :)
