User accounts are fragmented and just because you signed on at lemmy.world doesn't mean your account exists on lemmy.ca.

Communities are fragmented and /c/games on lemmy.world is completely different than the one on lemmy.ml with its own users, set of posts, etc.
Lemmy does not currently allow for instance or user migration.

Nor does it allow for shared communities (ie the aforementioned /c/games is unified across multiple instances)

We are in the early days. If you're eager feel free to join in the development on these any many other core issues. There's real potential here.
You're viewing a single thread.
But can I comment and reply in other instances? If that's true then I guess who cares?
Yeah, it doesn't matter much except when you wanna view several communities on the same topic. I'd like to be able to see all the 3dprinting communities at once.
Then just subscribe to all of them
We do need a "multi-community" feature where we can view a bunch of similar subs in the same feed, however
I think the de facto community will take hold eventually for each subject, or we will simply have more than one. No big. Reddit had the same, each under different names. Here the name includes the instance.
