Boost For Lemmy @lemmy.world AaronNBrock @lemmy.world 8mo ago

Is it possible to browse the home page of a different server?

For example can I browse the Lemmy.ml "all" from lemmy.world account?

~~You can do this without logging in.

I do not think you can use your login elsewhere without transferring your account to that server. ~~

You can have multiple accounts with the same username on different servers.

Edited as I was confused. This question is regarding Boost, not in general.
- How do I do this without logging in? Is there a way to change what server the "guest" account comes from?
  
  First, allow me to apologize. I didn't realize this was the Boost forum. My directions are for opening a web browser and looking from there.
  
  Here is the homepage for Beehaw. I have had good luck setting the top of page options, then bookmarking. This will save those options.
  
  I will install boost now and update my answer if there is a boost specific method.
What would be the reasoning for doing this? They should technically be very similar. If you’re trying to avoid defederations you’ll have to just make a new account.
- Some instances have a fairly narrow set of communities, such that their local home feed is a desirable browsing experience
  
  That’s not the question though. They want to browse the “All” of another instance. They didn’t say the “Local” of another instance. Absent of defederations this makes no sense to me. Don’t understand the downvotes… other then people still do not understand how this works.
  
  Mander.xyz for example, or if you are local to a region like Lemmy.ca
  
  This is why I made this account as the local is fits exactly my interest. But I would like to be able to do so with more.
