"Works just like email" is always easy way to explain. Everyone who uses email understands that they can send a message to a @gmail.com account from a @yahoo.com account or any other server.

Ah yeah just like email. All I had to do to comment here from a different instance was:

  1. "Maybe if I click login it will somehow do federated login?" Nope.
  2. Ok what if I copy the /post/<id> from the URL and paste it in my instance. Nope 404.
  3. Hmm...
  4. Aha! I randomly noticed this text:

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !fedimemes@feddit.uk

  1. I did that, but it eventually (takes like 10 seconds) came up with a load of random posts and comments from here.
  2. Maybe... if I click on Fediverse memes@feddit.uk - 792 subscribers?

Success!

Just like typing in someone@yahoo.com. 🙄
