For example, this comment links to another community on another instance, but when clicked on, you’re not actually able to interact with anything on that community, because you’re suddenly not logged in.
It’s doesn’t function like linking to a subreddit, and I understand that that’s because of federation, but is there a better way of doing this? It seems… very stupid that linking to a page would suddenly “log you out” for all intents and purposes, while searching that same community wouldn’t.
Does this make sense?
Kind of a related question so I think it can tag onto this post:
I am using sub.rehab to find communities corresponding to subreddits I would visit. My account is made on lemmy.world (also made a kbin account).
So whenever I see a community from .world I can subscribe, but if it’s from another instance I am not able to as I don’t have an account there (.ml for instance).
Is this the same sort of functionality being discussed as being added to the newest update or is there another means to subscribe to a community in another instance?
You should be able to subscribe to a community from other instances.
