So like, how does Lemmy work?
When I click on a post, let’s say Lemmy.World, that server sends me the page over the Internet. I get that part. But how does it do comments? Does it tell my phone to go ask lemm.ee and blahaj servers, etc, and fetch the comments?
And why does a post on lemmy.world have have a blahaj URL when I look at it? Is my server making a copy?
.worlds server gets told a .ee user replied and stores that internally. Your phone goes to .world and .world says everything it knows.
Pictures don’t carry over, that’s up to .ee to keep the full photo.
