I’m pretty new here too, but from what I understand you’d need to create a new account if you want to log in to Lemmy.dbzer0.com - however, you can subscribe to communities on other instances from your Lemmy.ml account. Search for the other community by typing it in the search bar like this; !communityname@lemmy.dbzer0.com and then you can subscribe.
This is correct. You don’t need a user on each instance. You just subscribe to remote instances’ communities from your home instance, and interact with posts as usual.
Or in the address bar, like this: https://lemmy.ml/c/div0@lemmy.dbzer0.com
You can also go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, set your home instance to lemmy.ml (or whichever you want), and it’ll automatically link you to the correct place to see it on your home instance.
There’s also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-instance-assistant/
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !div0@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Feature request: per-user opt-out. I know how to link properly and when I don’t it’s intentional.
nope, but you can browse resources of other servers here on lemmy, if they’re federated, list of federated/blocked instances is available under “instances” link at the bottom of each page, some instances defederate each other for some reasons, shit just happens
I just search for them on my home instance, subscribe, and then comment/vote from my home instance. No reason to sign up everywhere.
Sort off. No need to create an account on every site as you can subscribe to and contribute to communities on other servers though lemmy.ml
No, but normally you shouldn’t have to. You can still see and interact with all communities on the instances your instance is federated with. You’d only need to create a new account on an instance that has been defederated from your “home” instance (for example you account is on lemmy.ml but you want to interact with beehaw.org)
No, that is not possible, each server (instance, like Lemmy.ml, lemme.ee, Lemmy.world) is completely on its own. The reason you can see posts from instance x on instance y is because they sync posts and comments with eachother. The are what is called “federated”. Some instances unfederate other instances. Then the sync is only one way. Basically saying “I don’t want to see your posts and comments anymore instances x, I will no longer sync your stuff to my instance”. Note that other instances can still sync posts and comments from the one that unfederates. Take for example that beehaw.org unfederated lemmy.world. Users from Lemmy.world can still post on beehaw.org communities but beehaw will not see those posts anymore.

Exactly, my home instance is mander.xyz but I’m subscribed to this community and saw this post in my feed.
