I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.

    RedditSync app sent me here basically. I don’t still understand whether I can log in with the lemmy.ml with the account I have on this lemmy.world.

      You can’t login on another instance, but you can interact with them from your own instance.

      See it as email: I could be using Gmail and you could be using Outlook, but we can still interact with eachother. We cab send emails to eachother. But when I want to send you an email I’m not going to use the Outlook website because you happen to use Outlook. I use Gmail and so my account is on the Gmail servers. So I login on the Gmail website to send you that email.

      You can’t login, but you can browse the communities of other instances. I’m for example replying you from a different instance than you’re on.
