Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You can already do that. That's one of the basic features of Lemmy. For example, my account is not from lemmy.world, but I can comment here. Looking on your profile, you've also already commented on lemmy.ml posts.
And I am from eben another instance and can also comment here. But I could also create a new post in other instances without the bed for an account there
And here I am from a different instance than both of you and OP replying to your comments!
I think OP is a bit confused, but they’ve got the spirit.
And I am commenting from yet a fourth instance!
Do i hear 5 instances?
And a fifth, complete nobody instance! It's almost like you can just slap Lemmy on a server and you can immediately join in the fun everywhere!
Woo! Why not 6?
Yall we are on 8 now....
Oh man, I have 5 different accounts now. I did this because when I started on lemmy hexbear had some shit going on which led me to believe one needs to be registered and what not. Uffff , Maaan do I feel stupid now.
You're not stupid. This federation thing is confusing to everyone when they first encounter it. Still confusing to a lot of us months later.
Don't blame yourself buddy. We all gotta learn somehow
Yes, there are instances who block other instances. These two then are not federated and you would need accounts on both
OP's post is so cute, it reminds me of Lemmy 5 months ago when the Reddit exodus happened 🥹
