Lemmy is confusing and poorly limited. How does Lemmy work? Why are there so many Lemmy clones? Do I have to sign up for each of them? Does my post show on each of them?

First please don't ban me I'm new.
lemmy.world, lemmy.ml , lemmy.xxx, lemmy.whatever, etct... + hundreds of clones. Is each of these a Reddit by itself containing many subreddits inside it?
Does that mean if someone in lemmy.xxx/c/jokes posted something interesting that I wont even see it because I'm signed up in lemmy.yyy/c/jokes ?
That is quite a weakness of lemmy compared to reddit. Can I post on lemmy.yyy if I signed up for lemmy.xxx or do I have to sign up for each of them?
Which one should I sign up for?
How can I see all lemmy posts in one place? I can't believe no one has found a solution to this yet and just let hundreds of clones post repeated things. Also how is each moderated? Is lemmy.yyy moderated by sensitive snowflakes who ban anyone who cusses or offends anyone, while lemmy.xxx is ran by racist nazis? How does this work?
Edit: Thank you I read all comments and thank you some where very helpful. and I hope things get improved and added with time. here for the long ride
You're viewing a single thread.
Got ya covered, I wrote this for folks just like you:
To be fair I read all of that stuff too and it didn’t make sense until I signed up for an account and just started using it. When we moved from MySpace to Facebook and digg to Reddit it started off confusing as well.
How can I see all the memes posted by all lemmy.nnn/c/memes in one place so that I see the top ones? where nnn is ml/world/xxx/etc. I really wish I just solve this one issue
Yeah... this might be too complicated for you... It's not for everyone in here, not yet anyway. Still too early, it's basically an alpha. Very messy.
So not possible? Or is it possible but messy?
Alright, fine. Go to communities tab, flip the button to "all" and search for memes or whatever else you want. Scroll down and click on whichever ones seem ok. Go into their sidebars and hit "subscribe". You will get "pending" in many cases, this just means it will take awhile to process. Otherwise it will subscribe you to them instantly.
That's kind of you to point us in the right direction
No worries. Welcome to the community.
