With mastodon I just log in with my mastodon account and enter my unique username to follow or comment on something, if it’s on another instance.
But how does it work on Lemmy? If I am on another instance and I try to log in to comment, my account can not be found.
At the post above someone from lemmy.ml commented the post and I am just trying to figure out how this works?
What is the workflow if I find another interesting instance to comment or like, because it looks like leaving lemmy.ml isn’t a good idea.
You can copy the url of the post and paste it into the search field on your server. It will look the post up and then you can comment, being logged in on your home server :)
If this doesn’t work try copying and searching for the link that’s behind the rainbow icon next to the favorite, crosspost, report etc buttons.
A “view this page from X instance” dropdown menu populated by a list of federated instances in the UI of every comments section would streamline this process massively. Right now it’s a bit cumbersome.

@coldhotman So you are telling me those people who are replied to @sexy_peach are blocked on my Mastodon instance and it’s not a technical problem to show them?

My original post is on lemmy.ml (https://lemmy.ml/post/439617) and not beehaw. I really don’t understand how beehaw is involved in this. Is it only because I added the link to this post? But this link was meant to show an example and not to overtake the filters of the server.
I am confused…

I think the point might be that your Mastodon instance does not federate (yet) with my Friendica instance. Don’t know about @Awoo though as you seem to have already interacted with Lemmy
btw this works on mastodon too!
