Well you have your “home” lemmy instance whicj you are logged in to. Everything you see goes through you home instance. But many thing you will see originate on a completely different “remote” instance. Your home instamce nees to be federated and synced in order to the everything that happens in the remote/origin instance

Psythik@lemmy.world 1 month agoWhat’s “the remote view”? Never seen that feature in any Lemmy app before.

The post you replied to comes from a different instance than your own, so does my answer. When you’re logging into your instance, the view of their and mine posts are both remote to you.
Sometimes in Mastodon you’ll only see the specific post that you’re opening a link to directly, not other posts before or after. This tries to fix that.
