How is the federation supposed to work regarding logins? I made my initial account on lemmy.world but I'm unable to login and subscribe to communities on other federated servers. I presumed the primary server I setup on would allow me to subscribe and comment on communities on other servers?

    So then could you have, say, a 3D printing "subreddit" on lemmy.ml as well as lemmy.world? And if you had no idea of the one on lemmy.ml, you would never see the posts submitted there, correct?

    Edit: I think I understand now. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. You would be able to see it on your instances "all" page only if one other person from your instance went and subscribed to that other community (from the other instance). So it essentially grabs the content from that other instance and shows it on yours, without actually having to go and sign up for that other instance.

    I think what threw me is communities on the same server allowed me to just click subscribe but ones on other servers I had to click through, expand the sidebar THEN I could subscribe. That's a bit cryptic on top of the login only working on the initial server but I figured it out.

    There’s an open issue on GitHub where someone was suggesting moving that subscribe button

    And in general, you wouldn’t need to login anywhere else Assuming you’re not trying to access a community from one of the instances that’s blocked, your instance should be enough to access everything
