Do I need to make a new account for every Lemmy instance? (lemmy.ml)

I tried to sign in to Lemmy.ca with the account I created on the Lemmy.ml and it didn't work. Any reason for this? (I am very new to Lemmy and am still learning how to use/understand how all the instances work)

You can also enter the community url in the search box, and it will work. Same for post, comment and user URLs.

Oh, I see, the ”https://” part is necessary, I tried it without before and it didn't work.

Right, it has to be the full URL.

Makes sense. I guess I was subconsciously going off of how linking to just r/subreddit works on reddit. The URL version is sufficiently noob friendly tho, I think.

We could also add support for that, feel free to open an issue.
