The biggest thing killing Lemmy for me is needing a seperate account on every single instance if I want to participate in anything on an instance.

I thought this wasn't how it was supposed to work.

I saw this post on another instance and tried to reply this exact message but got an error saying I couldn't.

Using Liftoff if it matters.

That's odd, you shouldn't need another account. I've even made posts from this account to another instance

You definitely don't need accounts for every instances (as long as you're not defederated). That sounds like an app bug or something.

On Liftoff you need to "open using another instance" and then choose the instance your account is on

I just subscribe to whatever content I want to see. Wish my feed defaulted to subscribed instead of all because I hate lemm.ee.

I don't seem to have that issue using Jerboa. I am on Lemm.ee and have no issues commenting on Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc posts. The only case where I could see not being able to is if there was defederation which the admin of lemm.ee does not want to do, even with the genocide deniers of hexbear.

Also it can be really hard finding small communities from a different instance, a lot don't show up or aren't fully synced so some of the posts don't show.

Hopefully this is going to be fixed but I think it's limiting the growth of more niche communities.
