How to interact with other instances? (lemmy.world)

Maybe I don't understand how Lemmy works yet...

I've created an account on lemmy.world. I've subscribed to memes@lemmy.ml. In the browser, I can up-vote posts on lemmy.ml. However, when I tried the same thing it the app, it told me I had to log into lemmy.ml to up-vote.

Is this right? How come it works in the browser?

Yeah, the way Lemmy is supposed to work is the way the website works. Requiring accounts on other instances to interact with content in those instances is, in the context of Lemmy, fair to describe as a “bug”. I hope it’s uninetentional and will be fixed soon - if it is a design choice that the devs are committed to for some reason, that alone makes this client not worth a lot.

Yeah I'm confused too. I try to subscribe to federated communities from other lemmy instances or beehaw and it requires a login there. That's not how the fediverse is supposed to work, is it? I can subscribe to federated communities in other clients like jerboa.

I may have just learned this. If you're using Liftoff app, make sure you have the correct "All" selected. Here's how mine is set

I hope this gets addressed in the next update. I want to switch from Jerboa as I don't like the UI but this bug is actually making Liftoff unusable.
