This is good, but misses a glaring issue/confusion that you can have an “aww” community on each server which are totally unrelated.
How do usernames work? Can the same username be claimed multiple times (via registering on multiple instances)?
Technically you only need to register in one instance and can interact across lemmy and kbin instances, but you can register the same username in various instances in case of defederation. Lemm.ee federates with all and all instances federate with it for example, beehaw.org doesn’t allow signups and has defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
That aspect is like email. If I have the email address Limeade @ protonmail.com, someone else can sign up for Limeade @ gmail.com without it affecting me. Gmail doesn’t ask all the other email servers around the world if anyone is already using Limeade. If you wanted to send me a message, you can’t just send it to Limeade @ anything.com and expect it to reach me.
Depending on which service you are using, sometimes usernames show the full username @ domain.tld format by default, others just show “username” and you have to click to see the full info that here on Lemmy and the wider threadiverse I am not just Limeade, I am @Limeade@beehaw.org (the extra @ in front is the standard format for writing usernames on the fediverse).
And now to blow everybody’s minds, by visualizing that lemmy, mastodon and most other federated services are also inter-connected and can interact with one another.
See, I keep seeing people say that the federated services can interact with each other but I have yet to understand what that means. I have a lemmy and a mastodon account but I can’t figure out how they’re supposed to connect.
This right here is my question as well. Currently I have created an account and login for Lemmy, Kbin (because there were some instances I couldn’t see from Lemmy even though my native instance isn’t being blocked or blocking any others), and Mastodon. Do I need a minimum of a Lemmy and Mastodon account to access everything or will one work across all the fediverse?
You don’t need different accounts. I have an account in Mastodon where I follow a community from Lemmy for example.
The thing is you have to manually search and follow communities and people from other services.
So if you go to Mastodon search bar and type “@linux@lemmy.ml” for example, it will show you the community content as a Mastodon profile and you can follow it and see the posts on your timeline.
As I understand it, that would mean that lemmy servers would load content from mastodon servers and you could see them from your server. However, lemmy does not implement that yet (they are/were just two developers, so need to prioritize).
I’ve been trying to figure out Lemmy since the black-out and I find this very helpful. Thank you!
That is awesome!!

Be gone, pest!
How can I see mastodon using Lemmy?
This shit is wild, honestly!
This is something I really missed at the beginning when I created my Acc. I just didn’t understand how everything works. Would be really helpful if something like this would be on all Lemmy sign up pages.
If you understand how it works the Fediverse just really extremely awesome.
Can I somehow block bots? Someone created a soccer club community and is just spamming posts there.
