what animal are you then? (none is not an option, it may seem like you're only human for now, but joining the fediverse is the beginning of anthropomorphisation)

at this point it's a legal requirement to subscribe to all the queer communities everywhere, especially on fedi
(welcome aboard btw if you're new here, we've got so many gay catgirls we can't contain them all)

Only moderators from my account’s server can take action against me?
as someone running a fediverse instance: not really... I can "ban" you from my instance, so that people from my instance can't see your post/follow you/interact with you, or delete specific posts from you, so that they don't show up on my instance. but i can't completely remove your account: anyone from any other instance can still see your account and follow you.
if i believe you did something really wrong and should be banned, i'd contact your instance's admin to take actions against you. if they don't comply and i believe it's causing too much issue, i can mute or "defederate" your instance. muting means posts from your instance won't be visible to people on my instance unless they specifically look up your account by name, and defederation makes it so that my instance pretends yours doesn't exist, and will refuse to lookup anyone from your instance, or let anyone from your instance follow some of my instance's people and so on!
hope this helps :3
@[email protected] @[email protected] kbin isn't a lemmy instance, it's a lemmy "competitor"
kbin is a software you can install on your server just like you can install lemmy, or mastodon, or pixelfed, etc...
if you want to interact with a post/profile/community/... on another instance, the usual way is to just take the link to the post, and paste it into your instance's search bar. this'll bring up the post in your instance where you're logged in!
that's what i just did with your comment: i don't use either lemmy or kbin on my instance, but i saw your comment on beehaw, so i copied the link, pasted it in my akkoma search bar, and was able to reply to the post, even though my instance doesn't even have support for user groups/communities
@[email protected] @[email protected] to add onto what was said, the cool thing about the fediverse is that it's all interoperable:
i am currently replying from my own self-hosted akkoma instance. this is more of a twitter-like microblogging software, that i'm running on a server i rent with a few friends. with it, i can't really browse lemmy/kbin communities yet, because akkoma doesn't yet have support for those, but i can reply and read content from users, and i believe even follow communities! and i can also follow video creators on peertube, or on the instagram-like pixelfed, whichever instance they use, because it's all the same protocol, so i don't have to sign up there :)
that looks cool! welcome to the fediverse!
