Related question: do you need to create a new account for every instance you try to use? How does this stuff work?
Not necessarily. You can subscribe to a specific community on another instance by searching from your "home" instance with
!<communityname>@<server>and subscribing from there.This is so complicated lmao
It’s pretty easy if you’re doing it from within an app (e.g., Memmy here)
Think of it like an email address. Any account you have can talk to any other email provider, there are no limitations on that.
If you are not happy with your email provider (Lemmy instance), you can always create a new address at another provider and use that one. There are currently no features to automatically migrate all your history, but that may come.
If the instance is being federated (i.e. it's content is getting pulled in by other instances) then no. If you really want to participate in an instance that's effectively been blocked then yes, you'd need an account on that specific instance.
