    I just search for them on my home instance, subscribe, and then comment/vote from my home instance. No reason to sign up everywhere.

      Exactly, my home instance is mander.xyz but I’m subscribed to this community and saw this post in my feed.

    nope, but you can browse resources of other servers here on lemmy, if they’re federated, list of federated/blocked instances is available under “instances” link at the bottom of each page, some instances defederate each other for some reasons, shit just happens

    Sort off. No need to create an account on every site as you can subscribe to and contribute to communities on other servers though lemmy.ml

    No, but normally you shouldn’t have to. You can still see and interact with all communities on the instances your instance is federated with. You’d only need to create a new account on an instance that has been defederated from your “home” instance (for example you account is on lemmy.ml but you want to interact with beehaw.org)

      I keep hearing conflicting reports of whether beehaw has defederated from lemmy.ml. I don’t actually think this is the case. I’ve been posting comments in beehaw communities just fine and another user told me lemmy.ml isn’t on beehaw’s defederation list.
