Works largely the same as reddit, just smaller and more distributed.

The go-to analogy is e-mail. You pick a particular e-mail provider, say gmail.com or yahoo.com, and create your account there, but that doesn’t stop you from sending messages to anyone with any other provider, or them sending messages to you. In the fediverse/lemmyverse/whatever, same thing, you create an account on whatever server/instance you feel like, and use that to see posts and messages from any other server/instance in the network.

Occasionally, you might hear the term “federation” which is the process of different servers/instances syncing their content with each other. It’s not foolproof, and sometimes doesn’t work properly. But generally, you won’t have to care about the nuts and bolts of the protocol.

One possible correction: given that this is a streamer, I’m guessing they’re referring to ASU the video game.
