No, you make an alt-account on a non-world instance and interact with world communities from there. The only issue is that you aren’t carrying over your subscriptions and blocks unless you use a special tool, about which I don’t know much.
I tried figuring out how to use the Lemmy API to subscribe to all my subscriptions from my kbin account a week or two ago
I remember getting stuck and giving up, so I think I’m going to do it semi-manually or something later on, unless some kind wizard blesses me with the name of such a tool
No. It’s basically like signing in at another e-mail provider. Instead of [email protected] you now have [email protected] and can from then on e-mail the same contacts. Just with posts, threads and comments instead of e-mail of course.
You can log into non-world instances using world credentials?

There is a script for it, I’ve been meaning to use it and create couple of alts but haven’t done yet.

Just make another account, you can usually even use the same username cuz there’s so many instances out there.
Unfortunately no. I don’t understand this well enough to know why accounts don’t sync, but that seems like it would be much better to me.
