I’ve joined Lemmy.ml. Someone sent me a link to a video posted on Feddit.nl - I thought I could log in and upvote/comment using my Lemmy.ml credentials. Wrong!
Why is this? Sorry for my ignorance, I’m relatively new to the fediverse. But I thought that they were all federated so you can interact with all instances??!
The whole linking to other instances and services like lemsha.re or lemmyverse.link within Lemmy should become obsolete in the next release of Lemmy. It will include rewriting remote instance URLs to the local instance equivalent.
