Can someone explain what role lemmy and mastodon play in the fediverse? (self.fediverse)

From what I understand, fediverse is sort of liking emailing and lemmy and mastodon are simply the sites that allow you to send emails (i.e. yahoo, gmail). How come I don't see any mastodon content anywhere in my jerboa app (which is on lemmy.world)

You need to specifically reach the content of other platforms. They won't pop up in your feed if you're not following them or they don't post at a subLem.

You can use the search to find a mastodon user, follow him (sub) and read his posts.
