I want to know how functionally lemmy is different than reddit? Who is in charge of what? Who can clear up disputes and issues? And by what authority?

    Lemmy is a bunch of sites that are individually similar to Reddit. They all have their own “subreddits” and admins and users, paid for by different people and hosted in different places. But since they are all speaking the same language, they can interact with each other, allowing you to subscribe, post, and comment with other instances of the site from your home instance (the one where you registered an account)
