Wouldn't it be better to merge than to compete?

Edit: Looks like the community on lemmy.ml is pretty much dead.

Usually you don't need accounts on other instances to interact with their communities, e. g. my account is on lemmy.world, but I'm subscribed to 3 GW2 communities on 3 different instances one of which even being a different platform (kbin and not lemmy).

These communities now appear as if they were on my instance, but are in fact local copies which are synchronized/federated using the ActivityPub protocol.

Note that these communities are not merged, i .e. they still appear as separate communities, but there is a (pretty popular) feature request for this on GitHub.

Support for grouping communities / multi-communities #818

I don't know whether federation from lemmy to kbin is currently supported. I'm only using the other direction.

Thanks for the answer and the link ! That makes sense, then I'll wait and see if there is some traction/progress on the GitHub post!

I thought that going to https://www.lemmy.world/c/[email protected][email protected] would work but that's the whole point of the request
