How does Lemmy work ? (self.asklw)

Hello,

I’m very new on Lemmy and have a few questions. First is that I registered on the lemmy.world instance, does that mean that I can only access posts from that instance or can I access other instances ?

Second if the answer to my first question is yes, is it the case for other fediverse apps (mastodon, peertube,etc) ?

With an account on lemmy.world you can access stuff from other Lemmy servers unless the server owner had defederated from them.

As for mastodon and peertube no you can't access them directly.

There are some places that do the service access. A kbin instance will be able to access both Lemmy and Mastodon content.

Don't feel the need to pick one instance and stick to it. Make several around the place and explore.
