how do I interact with other instances?

I like the app but everytime I wanna upvote or comment a post made through another instance the app won't let me unless I make an account for every instance. How do I get around this?

Make sure you don't have an empty lemmy.ml instance in your accounts settings in Liftoff. This happened to me with lemmy.world which was apparently there by default. If there is one then long press it and remove it.
- Yes..if there are any empty instances, the app will automatically connect to it and says that login to comment....
Interact with communities via your instances only. If other instances are accessed directly, you are treated as anonymous.
- For example I scroll my feed which is set to All. I then open a post for example on lemmy.ml and when I try to upvote it or comment it says I have to log in using lemmy.ml (or whatever instance it requires). This doesn't happen when I'm using Thunder or Jerboa
  
  The only instances you can't interact with when the show everything setting is on are instances that have defederated from lemmy.world
That definitely doesn't sound right. How are you navigating to these posts exactly?
- Through the main feed which is set to All
  
  Hmm sorry I've tried my best to recreate it but seems to be working fine for me. Only thing I can think is you've somehow become logged out on the app itself? If not, hopefully someone else can help!
