When I use the https://join-lemmy.org/instances do I need to register a new account for example beehaw.org, sopuli.xyz and other server?

From this video https://youtu.be/UirZ9zPCGtQ?t=155 he said that I can see other communities from “all” so that includes like beehaw.org and more?

What are some tips that I should know to enjoy lemmy?
edit* how do you turn off the lemmy notifications. It covers my screen.
You must log in or # to comment.
From what I understand you don’t need an account on all instances. So let’s say you have an account on lemmy.ml, you can search for “community@beehaw.org” and subscribe to it.
Exactly this, although both site admins need to allow it
alternatively, to view a remote community from your lemmy instance you just append the domain to the end of the URL to indicate its on that specific remote instance: e.g. if your home instance is lemmy.ml, visit https://lemmy.ml/c/futurama@lemmy.world to see the remote “futurama” community from your instance. If you remove “@lemmy.world” you’ll see your local futurama community, which isn’t very active.
- No, you only need one account on one server and you’ll be able to see posts and comments everywhere else.
- Yes, although a few specific servers are blocked by other specific servers, and very small servers may not show many communities elsewhere until their users actually subscribe. But yes, beehaw.org and others work just fine.
- You can see a list of all communities here. Also Lemmy federates with Mastodon, not just Lemmy instances among themselves, in case you’re also using that.
Thank you so much and also it will take me a while to get used to this (@-@ ٥). I am not familiar with mastodon but how do you use it along with lemmy?
It’s very similar to email - you can send/receive messages on your user@gmail.com to say user@yahoo.com, and user@live.com and many others.
Similarly once you register user@lemmy.ml you’ll be able to interact with other users and posts on beehaw.com and many other instances.
- No, you don’t need. It is the concept of federation
- Yes it does
It is explained on community instances
That mean, you have to go on lemmy.ml and search !technology@beehaw.org

Look for communities in all instances, beehaw.org is nice. If you speak languages other than english, there might be little communities in your languages. I know feddit.de is pretty big if you speak german for example
You can sub and comment on other instances without registering on each one. However, there is a bit of a fragmented experience when viewing context from your inbox.
Use browse.feddit.de to globally search across instances for communities that haven’t been connected to your instance yet. Then copy the full url and search for it in your instance to add it
