Is there a way to get the local feed of another instance? (lemdro.id)

So beside local, all and subscriptions, I want the local feed of several other instances without creating new account on each instance. Is there a way or a client that does this? Is there any plans for adding such feature?

Thunder can add instances using a "guest" profile. Basically browse only mode without an account.

I would like to interact with it using same account.

That you can't do.

It's possible in some cases but looks like Thunder doesn't support it for guest profiles.

The local feed is unique to each instance, and content in it may not exist on yours. For a community to be federated to a given instance, it must have at least one local user who is a subscriber, and the community can't be local only.

I want a lemmy instance that works exactly like old reddit without all this cross reference stuff, it's confusing.

Then that's not Lemmy. That's Voat or any of the other first wave Reddit alternatives.

Not trying to say you don't belong here, but that the cross reference stuff are the foundational principles Lemmy is built on.
