You can sub to commu nities on any server as long as they have not defederated us.
This is still ambiguous to me but only because I don't understand this new definition of 'federating'. For example, I've gone to a few other lemmy instances and tried logging in with the same user/pass to no avail. Is this because they've already 'defederated' us or because we were never 'federated' to begin with?
Each server (instance) is its own thing with its own rules and logins, but they all share the data of communities and posts when those are subscribed to by outside instance users, unless one blocks the other (defederated). Think of it like email, different clients sending each other email, and a few might be flagged as spam and not seen. So to your point, you only need to login to one of the places and just subscribe to others outside to see them in your feed.
This was quite concise and helpful, thanks
