I thought if I create an account everywhere in the lemmy universe, it’s valid for every lemmy page (like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml).

Apparently this is wrong. Do I have to create an account there again if I want to post there?

    You can interact with communities from other servers from your home server. Your posts and replies will be seen there. No need to login on other servers

      To elaborate on this, make sure you’re visiting the lemmy.world community from your home instance, not going to lemmy.world’s URL. Use the search button (upper right corner) to search for the community, and the result will be the link to that community from your instance.

        Yeah, this is a downside of federation right now. Too many linking still goes to the target instance instead of loading it in your home instance. I hear Mastodon is fixing this behavior, Lemmy should definitely follow this, imho. (Making hxxps://instance.tld/@\user equal to @user@\instance.tld)

          Be sure I have on many mobile apps right now is that clicking links open to the web browser instead of in app.
