I thought if I create an account everywhere in the lemmy universe, it’s valid for every lemmy page (like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml).
Apparently this is wrong. Do I have to create an account there again if I want to post there?
You must log in or register to comment.
Your login is unique to the home instance. In effect your username is the full vestmoria@linux.community but the @ portion gets added in when you log in on the linux.community page. There is some theoretical talk of federated identity that would let you use credentials across instances but the logistics of it seems daunting.
You can still read and post to wherever from your home instance, so long as the other server wasn’t defederated for some reason.
We badly need federated identify and or at least something portable/nomadic.
If I recall there was talk of migration being a thing in the next major version.
Cannot join lemmy.world.
consider yourself lucky
Yes. You are late to the party. Open sign-ups are now closed.
