I cannot stress this strongly enough: You have not been “using Lemmy” for 1.5 years now. “Lemmy” isn’t a service the same way Reddit is, it’s a web engine, like Joomla, or like phpBB.
Nobody wants to hear this, but there’s no “Lemmy”. This emergent network of social media sites isn’t a coherent thing, and it’s not a stable concept. The attempts to make this look like a singular space are to the ultimate detriment of the network, because implicitly lying to end users about what they’re doing informs how they behave.
You’ve been using lemm.ee. Lemm.ee has copies of content on other websites, but those websites have different rules, and different expectations than lemm.ee. You don’t get to pretend otherwise because of where you’re reading the content, and there is no guarantee that you will have further access to content from any other website than lemm.ee.
This is a reality that people simply do not want to face, for some reason. Everyone wants to imagine that federation is just centralized social media with some voodoo in the background, but it is a fundamentally different paradigm, and this is the wild fucking west.
You’re going to get your toes stepped on if you treat it like something it’s not.
The social media lemm.ee runs the software Lemmy and forms part, along side other social media (server/instances/providers) of the Lemmy network that simultaneously forms part of the Fediverse.
OP and you too are on Lemmy because you are part of servers that run Lemmy, and that actively make part of the Lemmy network in all its aspects, up to its distinct userbase culture that differentiate it not only from the wider fediverse but also from other link aggregators like Mbin and PieFed.
Not only is your comment painfully pedantic but also patently wrong.
I’m not trying to be a troll. I’m not even trying to be pedantic. I just agree with the guy a couple comments up that we should refer to the thread based fediverse as “Lemmy”. There is piefed, mbin, and even the microblog based AP platforms can ingest content from threadiverse.
If we refer to the threadiverse as just “Lemmy” then the network is going to be known as a place for tech obsessed socialists rather than being part of the wider AP network
If you email someone on a different mail service and your message breaks the ToS of their mail service then you shouldn’t be surprised if your email address gets blacklisted.
Different providers have different spamfilters, different rules regarding html mails, attachment file size, use of tls, policies regarding exspired certificates, and might have different log in procedures, so yes, if there are problems the question which providers are involved.
Using lemm.eeis using lemmy because lemm.ee is lemmy software being hosted on their hardware, and the activitypub that’s part of lemmy connects everything.

Why would you type all this out? What a waste of your time yapping about nothing. It’s Lemmy, for better or worse

You realize the software most of us here use is literally called Lemmy, right?
No, lemm.ee and Lemmy.world are using the Lemmy software. You are using a web browser or a mobile app which is decidedly not Lemmy
Wow, you’re that kind of troll. Okay, enjoy your day and happy trolling!

When people say they are sending emails, do you also ask them which email provider they use to correct them?

That’s some silliness right there.

If you’re going to try to be pedantic, be right
they have been using the lemmy software.
