I looked up a list of Lemmy World instances and signed up for a bunch, but how do I see everything at once in one app instead of downloading one for each instance? I am new to what the kids call “federation.” Thank you.

    Do you mean that you have subscribed to communities on your chosen instance (Lemmy.world) if so you can view a feed of all these communities…including any you have subscribed to on other instances…

      No, I signed up for different instances.

        Ohhh…🤦🏻‍♂️😅…well its all a learning curve 👍🏻, you can just have one account on one instance, & subscribe to multiple communities, across various instances, to curate a your subscribed feed…

        Hi,

        I think this is one of the things we need in a primer that is prominent wherever people talk about lemmy/kbin/meta verse in general.

        You only need to sign up to one instance. It helps if they have the communities you want already there but if they don’t, you can still access them.

        I cannot comment for lemmy but on kbin there’s a search icon and you can just type community@instance. For example this community on a remote instance is [email protected]. I’m reading your comment and typing this from my own kbin instance. It’s how this was designed to spread the load.

        So pick one to stick to and add all the communities there.

        If you have more questions, ask away.

          But I already signed up for each individual account.

            Well, you don’t need to use them. I had accounts on a couple of other instances before making my own.
