    I’m subscribed to the ml as well as kbin and have accounts in both but I can’t seem to view posts from the ml there alongside the kbin ones. I can see that the ml is linked and I can subscribe to it, but how do I get the kbin to show a merger of both?

    Also shouldn’t we link the wtf instance too in the kbin?

      Usually you don’t need accounts on other instances to interact with their communities, e. g. my account is on lemmy.world, but I’m subscribed to 3 GW2 communities on 3 different instances one of which even being a different platform (kbin and not lemmy).

      These communities now appear as if they were on my instance, but are in fact local copies which are synchronized/federated using the ActivityPub protocol.

      Note that these communities are not merged, i .e. they still appear as separate communities, but there is a (pretty popular) feature request for this on GitHub.

      Support for grouping communities / multi-communities #818

      I don’t know whether federation from lemmy to kbin is currently supported. I’m only using the other direction.
