It gets more confusing when the instance you joined decides to unfederate and half of your subs stop working! Then you have to join a new instance and start over because subs nor usernames carry over.
Do you have a grasp of the fediverse now?
I have like three now, because it wasn't clear that that wasn't required. I think I'm getting it more now, but it's taking a bit to get there.
It was confusing at first
The confusion never went away. Beehaw defederated, so I understand that you would then have to create a specific Beehaw account in order to engage with Beehaw communities, but why would I want to as a Lemmy.world user, is what I'm confused about.
That's not the most convenient though. You could have an account on any instance that's not lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works and you'd be able to access both beehaw and Lemmyworld/shitjustworks

i need a tutorial
I hope this place gets better with time.
Yes, you have to create an account on every instance that exists and always use that account to interact with that instance.
If you keep a central account, one day you will anger the wrong person and they will blacklist you off the entire fediverse, losing all relationships and history to overcome ostracisation.
I even consider making a new account per instance per month. Maybe the process could be automated too.

I will stick to only one account. Too much accounts are pain.
If you have an account at one instance, you can see everything from all of the instances that are federated with that instance. If there is another instance that is not federated with the 1st instance, then you have to make an account there to see anything there
But currently there is no redirect to preferred instance type of settings available which in quite uncomfortable to me.
For example, I created an account on lemmy.world instance and click an url like https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml, it redirects to lemmy.ml instead of lemmy.world instance.

Lol. I can barely figure out one.
So, Iβve a question. Is there a back button?
Iβll select something from my feed, but then get stuck having to then go all the way back and scroll all the way back down to where I left off.

I have 2 with the idea that if my home instance went down Iβd still be able to see whatβs going on. Not that Iβm concerned about a mass failure, more for like server maintenance downtimes.
Reminds me of the good old days creating a different identity for each forum I signed up at.
On the internet, you can literally just be anyone you want.
Thanks for the advice, Margot!
