I’m still new on this stuff but I thought a few pictures could help clear out a bit of confusion, I sacrificed technical accuracy (hopefully not too much) to make it simple. Let me know what you think.
Edit: thank you all for the kind words :)
Edit2: changed screenshots to light theme, someone said buttons are too difficult to read on dark
I know Lemmy is the place to be when it has helpful and informative pictures like this one! Thank you!
