    That is literally the way it works now. As an example - go to https://phtn.app/. Photon is a UI for lemmy. That specific website is hosted by the developer and you can log into any instance. I think Alexandrite and Voyager webapps act the same, but I haven’t tried them, so can’t be sure atm.

      No it’s not, your instance of choice isn’t necessarily federated with 100% of all instances. The UI you’re using is loading the content that your instance gives you access to only. Example v I can’t see hexbear communities and they can’t see communities from my instance so the only place I can interact with hexbear users is if they comment on communities both our instances are federated with.
