“little”

It’s like how there’s loads of different email providers but they can all still email each other.

Just like Gmail can send mail to Outlook and any other @EmailProvider.com, lemmy.world can populate it’s feed/comments from lemm.ee and any other @LemmyInstance.com

It’s more like “etiquette.” The downvote button serves to bury a comment or post, so it’s arguably best to use it as a “this isn’t relevant or is hateful/unproductive” button.

Try out Liftoff if you’re on Android. People also seem to like Jerboa. Both apps support all instances of Lemmy AFAIK
