Which apps are you using? I use Liftoff and have four instances added that I regularly browse, but I'm only logged in to two (because I only have accounts on those two). I haven't had problems browsing or sharing content on the instances I'm not logged into on this app and the links open in browsers just fine without a login wall for people I share with.
memmy and mlem
Initially opening the apps go to a sign in/login page.
Liftoff isnt on the App Store yet for iOS, so cant test.
I’m on Memmy and have never seen a login page through it. I do see the you’re not logged in warning on new communities on instances I’ve never been to before, but that is rarely the situation. I see more of that if I’m on the computer using the browser, but even that is getting less each time.
Ahhh, gotcha, I'm on Android and originally started with Jerboa before moving to Liftoff so I haven't gotten to try those apps yet. Yeah, that is a weird user-experience design and I'd agree they should try to change that, allowing lurking and easy sharing is an overall more pro-user design that respects our choices to try a platform before giving more info to it.
