I don't fully understand how lemmy works completely yet. But for example I made an account at Division by zero and subscribe here to post. Is it not just a more inconvenient version of making a reddit account and being able to post practically anywhere?

Also what's the difference between making an account at one instant and just making one centralized account for the social media?

Side note: when linking to a community you have to do !community@instance. If you do [email protected], it links to kbin.social's fediverse community for everyone. If you just write !fediverse, that links to [email protected] for me, [email protected] for you and other kbin.social users, [email protected] for lemmy.world users, etc.

Oops, yes - there's a bug in Kbin where links to local communities don't work properly. I kind of assumed it would appear correctly when viewed from other instances, turns out that's not the case. :)
