if you can't understand instances, it's just reddit, but volunteer run.

But how come some instances show posts from more communities than others? How come i can register the same username multiple times on different instances? How come it's so difficult to subscribe to a community from a different instance?

[–] ayla@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago

you can use the same name because, similar to an email address, the instance is part of your username (eg: asdf@gmail.com is different to asdf@hotmail.com) your app / site may just hide the end part

the subscribing problem might also just be on your app specifically, as i have no problems subscribing
