It seems like syncing with other instances isn't keeping up? (self.support)

Title suffices I think. Have other people noticed this? I've tried poking around for other threads a bit.

What could be causing this?

newbie here,

I cant sign in to Lemmy.ml with account made in Lemmy.world

I can browse the instances just fine, but the login button keep spinning

is this related to what you guys discussing?

This topic is related to different stuff from that. Accounts are exclusive to their instance, and it's the instance (e.g. lemmy.world) that talks to other ones (e.g. lemmy.ml).

Your lemmy.world account is only for lemmy.world and can't sign in to any other Lemmy instance, but it doesn't need to, because you can access all other Lemmy instances that Lemmy.world is linked to and hasn't blocked. So you can go to [email protected] from here by either searching that in the topbar, or you should be able to via this link: [email protected]

I see, thanks for answering

Lemmy is similar yet different from Reddit, it's quite an experience for me

It can't be quite confusing but @[email protected] is right. You can subscribe to communities on other instances but you need to login to your own "home" instance and work from there. Might be helpful to have a look at this post for some insight into Lemmy.

Also this script might be helpful to you: https://lemmy.world/post/378529

No. The ability to sign in to independent websites would be more in the category of "oauth" login sharing.
