      You dont. My account is from the german instance feddit.de and I can see, post and comment on many different instances. The only reason to have different accounts is to access an instance that defederated from the one you were using since they cant contact each other. But with some exceptions you are better off not visiting those instances anyways because they often are full of trolls, neocons or tankies: people that dont deserve a platform.

      Well, they’re different websites, so yeah. Except no, because the fact that they’re federated with each other means you can participate in communities from other instances.

                I managed to make a post on cats, The ones on the r/196 list have a subscribe button, but antemeridian doesn’t. So I guess they aren’t linked.

                    I don’t see a subscribe button.

                    The ! link you sent me takes me to a google results page.

                    The ok buddy baka page gives the instruction that I have to paste the text that it won’t allow me to paste here into the search bar of the instance, which I pasted into the search bar of blahaj and on the search bar of antemeridian, and it won’t allow me to subscribe on the results page, so I don’t know.
