Found a good image explanation of this whole thing.

Edit: update image to use light theme.

    Thank you for this! But unfortunately I’m very stupid, and I have more questions!

    I joined Fedia as my server (instance?), so I should be able to use this account in other servers too, right? And I should be able to see other communities from Fedia? How do I start to like… aggregate all the communities I want to follow in one place? I also get the message that posts may be missing when I look at communities through Fedia, so I’m worried I’m doing it all wrong ;-;

      On your home page at Fedia there should be a ‘subscribed’ tab that’s how you see all the communities you subscribed to. To subscribe to a community there should be a ‘subscribe’ button in the ‘sidebar’ menu which you can find at the top of the community’s page.

      You can’t login on another website with your fedia account but on fedia you see and interact with content from other instances.

      This post you commented on right here is from lemmy.world, so you’re already doing it.

      Don’t worry about the missing posts thing.
