Instances are similar to subreddits?
I suggest you can watch this image, i think that will be easier for you to understand

Omg thank u for this comic thingy
Also, communities in your “all” feed are ones that someone has already subscribed to from lemmy.world.
U welcome :)
I suggest we stop sharing this until someone updates it. The beehaw part hasn’t been accurate in months.
Oh yeah, you are right, but that’s the most visualised version I could found at the moment

No. Instance is like the full Reddit website, subreddits are communities here that are hosted in those instances. Check this comment, is very illustrative.
Sometimes, but not always. Lemmy is forum software and each website that hosts it is an “instance” of the lemmy software. Some are general focus such as lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Others are more themed like lemdro.id and lemmy.studio
Ones with a a focus are just more likely to have communities (subreddits) based around that theme but you can still subscribe to [email protected] from your account for example.
No, each instance is like its own reddit website with its own subreddits (aka communities). But because of how federation works, instances are interconnected so you can also browse content from other instances on the instance you signed up with.
