No that’s literally what you don’t need to do. You only need one account, your instance will talk to other instances to bring you content from the whole network, to your one account. That includes the ability to comment on it, and interact with, etc.
I’m still not sure what an instance is but I’ll sign up to some more of them if I can get more content.
nope you wont. If you signed up at an instance that hasnt defederated like beehaw then you will be able to see almost anything.
Yep, users registered @beehaw can’t see everything, but everybody else can see beehaw posts.
Can outsiders comment in beehaw posts?
As far as I understand yes they can.
If I’m wrong about this somebody will surely correct me.
