ELI5: a database is the “memory” of a program.
Every piece of data that any software uses almost certainly comes from and goes to multiple databases.
Once the data is stored, you can execute “queries” to have powerful access to update many records at a time, read particular records based on their relationship to other records, and so much more.
Your bank balances, your purchase history, your emails, every part of your digital life is almost certainly spread across a constellation of databases.
Bonus Fediverse content:
Lemmy itself uses the Postgres database extensively. Posts, users, comments, votes and more are all individually stored in the database.
Mastodon also uses Postgres. If a post goes up on Lemmy, and a Mastodon server is federated with it, the Lemmy server will send out a HTTP request to the Mastodon server containing the contents of the post. The Mastodon server will use this information to write its own record of the post in its own database.
Regarding your question about VMs: You can run a database inside a VM, or give the VM access to an outside database via queries, or both! You might run SQLlite (a small and excellent embedded database) on the VM to track its local state, while also running queries against a large postgres database to synchronize with other services in the cluster.

I don’t know for sure but I know their moderation is dogshit. I think they don’t want to face down the deluge of Nazis like we have had to here, they’d rather be a clique-y cool kids clubhouse of Twitter brainrot

Well probably because:
It’s a reference to 1984
someone builds a lemmy PWA so every user can have their own interface with api to the instance.
Fellow traveler, I’m happy to tell you that’s how it is already!
The URLs like m.lemmy.world
are just a convenience, and you can use Voyager, mlmym, Alexandrite and the rest on ANY Lemmy instance, whether they have set up a convenience URL or not.

Damn what a rabbit hole and TIL
Right!? I believe it has the hallmark repetitive blandness indicating AI wrote it (because oroboros)
Total guess but I imagine the increase in relative humidity impacts the combustion efficiency of the engine as well
Fair enough, I capitulated and I use spotify for podcasts now
