They are federated instances. Lemmy is part of the Fediverse, which means distributed servers running the same service (or services) and registering in one instance gives you access to information on the other servers rumming Lemmy. This way is not a centralised system.
The Fediverse is not just Lemmy, can be other services like Mastodon, etc.
