Why a user in one instance can't comment on another instance in lemmy? ( not a rant ) - eviltoast

If we are able to see lemmy.ml posts in lemmy.world We should be able to make comments on the post.

Making a new post should be for registered members.

I think ‘having to register and switching acc’ is one of the reasons why people are not interacting as much as they could.

Would be nice if devs answered as well.

Cheers.

Edit: you guys are right. I’m on liftoff and I can add an instance without having an account and browse it but when I have to make an comment it asks for account ; I thought liftoff is looking for the same post in another instance ( which may not have all the comments) But all it needed was an account.

Sorry guys I’m still wrapping my head around fediverse.

    You can make a comment on posts from federated communities, from the instance on which you have an account. If you view that instance directly, you won’t be signed in, though, as it’s a separate website.
