    What this means for a reddit alt, is that you can subscribe to a community on another server. So you could sub to startrek.lemmy.ml/c/news, and it would show up in your feed here.

    Here’s an early alpha we have of this working:

      Thanks for explaining. Right now, I couldn’t sub to /c/main in voyager.lemmy.ml , but that’s because this instance doesn’t yet support the feature, only the voyager instance does, do I understand correctly?

      When it’s finished, will I also be to vote and comment on posts on other servers, or only subscribe?

        Correct, it’ll be a while before lemmygrad.ml becomes federated, the voyager / enterprise / ds9 instances are for testing federation right now.

        You’ll be able to do 99% of the functionality: voting, commenting, posting, private messaging, pretty much everything.

          Well, awesome that you got that feature working, even if it’s still in alpha. Looking forward to when it comes to lemmygrad.ml and dev.lemmy.ml (I’m lurking on the latter instance sometimes, but don’t want to create yet another account — and federation would make that unnecessary), even if that still takes a while.

            Haha its not too bad, my memory is almost as bad as that guy in memento, so I have to just keep notes and automate everything as much as possible because I’ll probably forget it soon.
