How to interact with other instances? (self.liftoff)

Maybe I don't understand how Lemmy works yet...

I've created an account on lemmy.world. I've subscribed to [email protected]. In the browser, I can up-vote posts on lemmy.ml. However, when I tried the same thing it the app, it told me I had to log into lemmy.ml to up-vote.

Is this right? How come it works in the browser?

I may have just learned this. If you're using Liftoff app, make sure you have the correct "All" selected. Here's how mine is set

Yep it's a bit unintuitive when the app starts up showing All for all instances installed and needs switched like you showed.

It's a similar issue if you use the search to find a community and don't have "instance:" drop down set to the instance you're logged in with. It'll likely give you the same results both ways visually, but only one set of results will be ones you can subscribe/interact with.

Kind of wish you could just set an active instance where searching or visiting subs would just take you to that instance's link to the sub if possible.
