      You dont. My account is from the german instance feddit.de and I can see, post and comment on many different instances. The only reason to have different accounts is to access an instance that defederated from the one you were using since they cant contact each other. But with some exceptions you are better off not visiting those instances anyways because they often are full of trolls, neocons or tankies: people that dont deserve a platform.

      Well, they’re different websites, so yeah. Except no, because the fact that they’re federated with each other means you can participate in communities from other instances.

          Find a community, subscribe to it if you want to be able to see new posts and comments, and select that community when making a post.

                I managed to make a post on cats, The ones on the r/196 list have a subscribe button, but antemeridian doesn’t. So I guess they aren’t linked.

                  That’s strange

                  Click on the community. It will open a new tab. Then click subscribe.

                    I don’t see a subscribe button.

                    The ! link you sent me takes me to a google results page.

                    The ok buddy baka page gives the instruction that I have to paste the text that it won’t allow me to paste here into the search bar of the instance, which I pasted into the search bar of blahaj and on the search bar of antemeridian, and it won’t allow me to subscribe on the results page, so I don’t know.

              If you can’t see a community, it is likely nobody on your instance is subscribed. On the top right of the page, search for the community (with the instance included), wait a few seconds, then search again. Subscribe to it, and you should be able to post there.

              Search with the format [email protected], example: [email protected]
