I just don't understand all these 'instances' or whatever. Do you need a separate login/pw for all of them? I tried registering for beehaw for example but it just sits there spinning its wheels whenever i hit submit. Idk I'll give it a chance I guess but I'm pretty underwhelmed so far. I just don't understand why a forum to shitpost needs to be so complicated..

You do not need a separate login per instance. You can make one login on one instance and communicate with all the others as long as the instance you are trying to communicate with is not banned by your instance. I can give further clarification upon request.

Think of it like an email address. Your Lemmy "instance" selection would kind of be similar to choosing to create an account on GMail. Even if your account is on GMail, you can still send mails to people on Outlook, icloud, and anything else, no matter which server you chose. Lemmy works similarly in a way: No matter where you created your account, you can interact with all instances. So I have an account on lemmy.world, but I'm commenting on your comment (you're on lemmy.one), while our conversation takes place on lemmy.ml. And it should just work

I think it's essentially like an email? You can login with your @ . wtv I think?
