Unfederated news thread? Unfederated reddit? *i then struggle to explain reddit

Is it social media? Is it a forum?

I live around more tractors than people for context of my audience. I can explain what unfederated aspect is no problem but i sould like my grandpa describing facebook to his older siblings when i try to explain what a lemmy or reddit style forum is to my peers and family.

It's like reddit, but it works like email : different websites work together, you can sign up to any of them, and talk to and see posts by people on all the other Lemmy websites. Each website is called an instance.
