It would be so nice if this were true.
You need to sign up with every instance that isn't federated with an instance you've already signed up for.
So, for example, if you have a Lemmy.world account, and you want to subscribe and post to a community hosted by beehaw.org, you also need to create and maintain a beehaw.org account.
As the fediverse gets more mature, news of de-federation between big/popular instances becomes more common.
That's beehaw's problem. They defederated with lemmy.world recently
Why? Doesn't that undermine the whole strength of the Fediverse?
Not really. If the admins of that instance don't want to federated, that's their prerogative. They'll gain or lose users based on that decision. The beauty of the fediverse is that it's all on a voluntary basis. If beehaw decides to federate with a small cluster of other instances, then they'll have their own niche just like the current internet.
