Hello friends, this is my first post here so apologies if I missed a similar post to this. I recently made my account on this instance and have been enjoying Beehaw since. However I do want to explore other instances at some point so I tried logging into some other ones. I read the FAQ and it seems that I should be able to log in with my same user/pass to any other federated instances, no? But when I do I just get stuck on an endless loop and it never seems to let me log in. I've tried this on instances such as https://lemmy.ml/login and https://lemmy.one/login, but no dice.

Am I doing something wrong? Any advice is appreciated.

Unfortunately, that's not how it works. If there are communities in other instances you want to join, you can copy their URL and paste it into Beehaw's search. From there, you can subscribe to them. You can also set the filter from the front page to all to see posts from other instances.

Basically, you need to access those other communities via Beehaw's instance (or wherever you have an account).

I hope that helps!

Perfect explanation! Thank you so much! That makes much more sense now.
