First of, I’m not entirely sure they are the same to be honest, sometimes I see discuss.site-a.com
while others it’s discourse.site-b.com
?
Anyway, are these federated in some ways?
You must log in or # to comment.
Is that only between an instance of discourse and the rest of fediverse? Does it also apply for different discourse instances talking to each other?
Essentially, I’m wondering whether I can use 1 account to comment across different forums.
Not familiar with the specifics, sorry.
gotcha, thanks for the link btw!
No the software in this case is a classic forum software and stands alone.
You can use any subdomain for any type of instance but if you see it on lemmy then its federated.
