When I first looked into Lemmy I thought picking an instance confined you to that instance. I think a lot of new people don't realize that isn't the case.
Having to register on new ones is annoying though.
what do you mean? you only need to sign up on one, then you can follow and post in communities on any instance
This needs to be made MUCH clearer for newbies. Like, the first thing listed on join-lemmy, and the first thing mentioned on the popular instances.
But you don’t need to right? You just access other instances through your own? (I actually don’t understand at all but I think this is correct)
It’s like email. You can access anyone who has an email on a different server unless your server admin blocks them.
