Iv tried but I think I need to set up a specific account for that lemmy instance in order to post.
eventually some sort of single sign on will probably be developed, will try to give it a go myself
Usually users can post from any instance to any federated community on any server.
Unless the federation between lemmy.ca and Lemmy.ml is wonky/broken, one of the servers is overloaded, or they've explicitly forbidden it, you should be able to post there.
I’m in private browsing mode so I’ll try again shortly in case it’s cookies or something
You need to search for that community in your instance and post from your instance.
Yep that worked! Thanks!
This should not be the case. You should be able to subscribe to that remote community and make posts there, even with an account off-instance.
Yeah a user further down the comment chain helped with working out what link to use and it works now!
I think you need to subscribe (from your instance) to the community first or did you do that already?
Then you should be able to select the comminity when creating a new post.

I want SSO in the Fediverse too. Each instance should include an identity server which can be used to sign in to other instances (if they don't block you). That would be awesome.
