But are they different websites? I'm a bit confused because I just saw a link to what looks like a lemmy instant but the url doesn't start with a lemmy. So is it possible for someone to make a completely different website and for me to post with the same account I have now?

Say somebody makes a website with games like Kongregate or Newgrounds, could they let me post with this same account?

wait I can use mastodon using this account? That's crazy, I think I'm getting it now.

Yeah I was a bit confused first and thought I needed to subscribe, I didn't realize I just needed to open fediverse from dbzer0.

How is that different than just making different smaller subreddits? I did notice some instances have themes, like tech or electronics. So is it that if one instance enshitifies there would be many other instances with tech related communities?
