So if I understand this right. Say a friend of mine has a profile in another instance, I need to make an account in that instance and hope that the registration is open and i'm allowed in all so I can connect with my friend on the instance they're in?

I'm still trying to grasp masto which is why I haven't used it as much since I got it.

@KeareCryos No, you don't need an account on that other instance.

You simply search for their full name "@ user @ instance.name" in your search box and you can interact with them as if you were on the same instance.

@Oric aah thank you. that's a relief to hear honestly. Then so long as I know their name and instance then I should be fine.
