    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/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf+guildwars2@lemmy.ml would work but that’s the whole point of the request
