How would you explain to a new user how Lemmy works? (self.asklemmy)

I plan on making two videos, one where I explain how Lemmy works and then how to post in a community. I'm going to do my own research but is there any points you want to give to a new user?

Honestly I would just tell someone it's just like reddit. Then if they wanted they would learn from posts they see. That's pretty much what I did. Used it exactly like reddit for a few days.

Like easy to see somebody complain it's too complicated if you try to explain and never even browse. But saying it's too complicated to use while using it and reading a post sounds ridiculous. Just start browsing.

I still want people to understand the general idea of Lemmy but in a way more simplified way. I plan on using graphics to explain more than words.
