Quite confused at how this works (beehaw.org)

So how does this whole thing work exactly? I made an account here on beehaw, but then when I view other lemmy instances, I see some of the same posts that are here on beehaw.

For example, I commented on this thread: https://beehaw.org/comment/121048

And then I get a reply from this site instead, where I can't comment because I need to log in, but it doesn't allow me to? https://lemmy.ca/comment/190838

Wildly confused.

No, it isn't bad - it just won't work. Instead you need to copy the link provided in the sidebar of the community telling you to log in (it starts with a ! for Lemmy communities), click on Communities at the top of the page, paste the ! link into the search bar, and press "Enter." That should bring up the community icon with a "Follow" underneath. Click "Follow" and you are in - you can comment on threads for that community!

Good tip. I'll have to try this.
