How do I connect to other fediverse things?

I am pretty new to the fediverse, but have been sort of aware about its presence since elon took over twitter. I am having some trouble figuring out how to use other parts of the fediverse. For example, I came across a link to a post from beehaw, but was unable to comment on it. How do I do that?

Also, I have heard that I can use a single login for a fediverse service and use that across all the different communities on the fediverse, such as logging in to mastodon using my lemmy.world credentials.

Thanks for the help!

Go to lemmy.world/communities/listing_type/All/page/1

This page lists communities from other lemmy/kbin servers that federates with the server you use. (server list available in lemmy.world/instances)

If you know other community’s url from other server (e.g. lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy), copy and paste that to search function and you can browse that community without registering an account on other lemmy/kbin server.

Currently beehaw.org has de-federated with lemmy.world, that means if you paste a community from beehaw.org, the search function might (1) find the community but you won’t see new posts and your posts and comments won’t show up on beehaw server (2) doesn’t find that community.

With your second paragraph there, about pasting a community’s url into search, how do you subscribe so it shows on your feed?

On desktop version of website, once you clicked into the community you can click subscribe button on the right side.

On mobile I see it after I click “Sidebar” button.
