Can I ask why creating a new lemmy instance, rather than a new community. Instances are good for centralization, so, not a complain, however it imposes an additional account, :(
The beauty of Lemmy is the federation!
You can post on heapoverflow from lemmy.
I want to add a feature to make it easier but for now you search for the url of the sub you want to post on like this
ohh, wow, lemmy really needs to make that way easier, so subscribing and posting on other instances is made easier. I'm sure I won't easily remember the right URL to get into the other instance community... Thanks a lot, I wasn't aware of this way to access other instances communities...
Yeah, I added links to the sidebar of the communities to help lemmy.ml users.
This issue on github is asking for a "remote subscribe" button that should make the experience much better.
Thanks !
It does? Can't you use a single one thanks to federation?
Well, on every lemmy new instance announced, including this one, in order to subscribe into communities, or to post, I need to login, and the lemmy credentials of don't work on them, so it looks to me I have to create a new account, :(
Oh, that's because you're not supposed to log in on the page of their instance! You can view their instance from lemmy.ml. It's not super intuitive right now, but the other person explained a way to do it.
