It might be difficult to grasp at first but it’ll “click” soon! There isn’t a direct analogy that comes to mind but for lemmy specifically, I think of it like email in reddit format along with its phpbb forum mannerisms.

welcome comrade :)
the .ml userbase is generally strongly left-leaning. That said, there are MLs amongst us, admins of the instance like Dessalines (whom also develop Lemmy) are MLs themselves.
it’s hard to put to words, but the instance is treated like the “main hub” of lemmy content that connects other instances via federation, so you’ll have users from .lemmygrad, .hexbear, .world (the reddit 2.0 fashlib known around these parts), .dbzer0, etc… posting and interacting in the same space more than .ml users do.
Yes :). lemmy.zip federates with lemmygrad, meaning that you can view lemmygrad content and interact with lemmygrad users too, and vice-versa
