Is it okay to set up two accounts for two instances on the same web browser? When I go to visit the first instance, i can see that account is logged in for that instance. So, that works. Then I direct myself to the another instance’s community/post, I can see the 2nd account is logged in for that instance. Would it make sense for me to set up individual accounts for each instance, or should I stick with only one account?

I am not understanding this federverse I have been reading about as today is my first day. thank you

    You only need one account to navigate across the entire Lemmy instances, despite the server you choose. You can suscribe to communities searching in the glass button with pattern communityname@serverofthatcommunity.example

    Real example Salsa community

      You can suscribe to communities searching in the glass button with patron

      What does this mean?

        Upside in your lemmy instance there is a glass to search communities, you follow a pattern (I edited message to correct ‘patron’) serverthatyouwanttofollow@server.example
