You can’t log into other instances because they’re not your home instance. It’s like trying to log in to yahoo to use your gmail.
You can comment on the posts of other instances, and follow their communities too though.
Your home instance is lemmy.dbzer0.com. If you wanted to subscribe to another instance’s community or see and comment on their posts, your url needs to look like this: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/technology@beehaw.org
This link leads to beehaw.org’s community /c/technology. But it’s the link to view it on your home instance. So the url in english could be read like, "on my home instance called lemmy.dbzer0.com, go to the community called technology on beehaw.org.
Through that link, you’d be able to browse the posts on that community, comment on them, and subscribe to the community.
You can also view a user’s page this way: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/lenz@lemmy.ml
This is the link to my user page on your home instance. “on my home instance, go to the user called lenz on lemmy.ml.”
This is a more advanced concept, but if you have a mastodon account, you can also use this url thing to comment on Lemmy posts. Which is like if you could use your twitter to comment on reddit. Pretty cool! I don’t think it works in reverse, but it might in the future.
