I never played WoW or anything like that, but aren’t there several WoW servers and you have to decide which one to be on when you start the game? People managed that.

Yep, and it’s not even fully federated. Different servers have also quite a bit different focus.

I will steal from now on WoW comparison when talking about the fediverse!

explaining the fediverse would be you join different servers but can still play together?

I still prefer the email analogy with explaining how it works. The WoW analogy is for the people who say “That’s too complicated for the unwashed masses to understand.” People have been signing up for World of Warcraft going on three decades now, I think they’ll figure out lemmy.world vs sh.itjust.works.
