When you find a cool community like this, consider putting it here to help others discover it:

!wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

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.

For example:

https://your.instance/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

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!
