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?

Nice analogy thanks. Sure, everyone has email, but most don't engage with it much and it doesn't really have communities.
Well, to think of it, mailing lists of old would be similar to communities.
