If I registered at lemmy.world, is it possible to still comment on a thread at say lemmy.ml? I get the expected “You are not logged in” and while subscribing is easy enough, I’m not able to comment or interact with other instances. This seems normal as users are unique per instance, I just want to make sure I’m not missing a key component of federated services. The sign in page at lemmy.ml says “You will still be able to interact with other instances” so that is confusing wording there as well.
EDIT: it works fine, you just need to be subbed to the other community before you can comment. Thanks /u/nulluser !
Edit 2: you don’t even need to be subbed, I still have lots to learn, lol thank you all for your patience
This is the part that blows my mind!
Lmao it’s awesome isn’t it, I’m just trying to wrap my head around it too
It’s so clever! I checked this post out on Mastodon and it just looked like a normal tweet. I guess you could see Lemmy/Mastodon as like “email clients” except rather than going by an email protocol we’re going by the ActivityPub protocol.
I never really meshed with Twitter, but maybe it would work in my head if presented more in the style of a reddit thread.
