Does my instance federate with communities, or does my user? (redlemmy.com)

General question about Lemmy:

If I as an instance owner search & subscribe to another instance's community, I get "federated" with that community. Does that mean my instance is, or my user is?

Second question:

If I want users at my instance to see posts from communities on other instances, is there a way for me to pull those posts in to my instance? Or, how do I get my users to see other communities' content?

You could experiment with creating a user and subscribing to a bunch of communities

Would this work with my current user? I'm the admin

Yes. It just will fill your feed with a bunch of things you might not care about. But admin vs non admin doesn’t matter in the context of what I said.

Got it, thanks
