This probably has been asked a million times, so apologies in advanced. But can we log into other instances with our login here for example if I went to lemmy.world and logged in with Designate6361@lemmy.ml should this work? Or do I just need to make an account on their instance as well ? Already know how to browse and comment on other instances but this was interesting me to know if it could be done.
