Hello,

I’m currently on my journey of leaving reddit, but not having much success (not giving up either)

One of the things that it’s hitting me the most is the fact that, well, Lemmy has different instances and not all communities I like are on the same one.

Despite me reading different beginners guide of how to lemmy on github (and them having example on such matter) I’m still not understanding it properly, so I thought of asking you guys some help!

For example, we are on lemmy.world, but, for example, !plugins@sh.itjust.works is on another instance, which is lemmy.zip. Is there any way for me to subscribe to it without making an account on that instance? Will I be able to comment/post there without an account on that specific instance, but by using my lemmy.world account?

Thanks in advance to every folk that will try to help me, much appreciated!

    For example, we are on lemmy.world, but, for example, !plugins@sh.itjust.works is on another instance, which is lemmy.zip.

    !plugins@sh.itjust.works is on the sh.itjust.works instance.

    Is there any way for me to subscribe to it without making an account on that instance?

    Yes indeed! Just search for the community in lemmy.world (as !plugins@sh.itjust.works), visit the community page on lemmy.world and hit “Subscribe”.

    Will I be able to comment/post there without an account on that specific instance, but by using my lemmy.world account?

    Yes, once you’ve subscribed just create posts and comment away as if it was a community on lemmy.world.
