It's distributed, but the login can be from any site. You don't need multiple accounts, you can subscribe to "subreddits" (not sure what they're called over there) on different servers from your instance, similar to how a gmail and a hotmail user can email each other or join the same mailing list.
- q1w2 3y agoDoes this mean that if I go to startrek.website, I will see posts and comments from other "subs" I'm subscribed to?
- malermeister 3y agoCorrect!
- Stephen304 3y agoYes, you'll see posts both from startrek.website as well as other instances on the home page. You can subscribe to remote communities as long as you do it from startrek.website (and don't accidentally follow a link to another instance where your startrek.website login won't work), and all of your local and remote subscriptions will be combined in your subscribed feed on your home instance.
- malermeister 3y ago> (and don't accidentally follow a link to another instance where your startrek.website login won't work) I feel like there really needs to be a browser extension that does the appropriate redirects to make this problem go away. It's a really bad UX rn.
- kgwxd 3y agoIf a the only way to fix a usability problem is via browser extension, the entire concept should have been left on the cutting room floor.
- malermeister 3y agoI think it's a small price to pay for removing a single point of failure, such as a greedy CEO.
