Commenting across instances (lemmy.world)

If I registered at lemmy.world, is it possible to still comment on a thread at say lemmy.ml? I get the expected "You are not logged in" and while subscribing is easy enough, I'm not able to comment or interact with other instances. This seems normal as users are unique per instance, I just want to make sure I'm not missing a key component of federated services. The sign in page at lemmy.ml says "You will still be able to interact with other instances" so that is confusing wording there as well.

EDIT: it works fine, you just need to be subbed to the other community before you can comment. Thanks /u/nulluser !

Edit 2: you don't even need to be subbed, I still have lots to learn, lol thank you all for your patience

Is lemmy.world connected to kbin? I'm trying to interact with their instances but it doesn't seem to work. kbin.social appears to be one of the faster growing instances. It would be nice if we could interact with them.

kbin.social has been getting overloaded from sudden increased traffic due to the reddit hug of death today (Streisand effect from reddit banning a sub promoting it). The developer/admin of kbin.social has had to temporarily enable ddos protection to keep the site up which they say may be interfering with proper communication between kbin and the rest of the fediverse. This is probably why accessing kbin.social instances from lemmy isn't working right now.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info.

Well, it is listed at https://lemmy.world/instances so it should work.

Maybe the servers were slow at the time you tried?
