So this is what I don't get - do i need an acct in every instance or a single one will suffice? Can I view and participate in all communities in the other instances that I don't have accts in? Is there an advantage to having an acct on one instance over another or it doesn't matter at all?
I think a lot of other first-timers are confused about this as well.
You only need one account. Each instance does have the ability to block other instances, meaning if you want to see the whole WHOLE Lemmy federation you'd have to get multiple accounts and switch between them, but honestly right now 95% of everything is on lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org
