I’m new to Lemmy/The Fediverse but I am a little confused on how to use this website. So when I go to that website I see links to a bunch of places. I personally created my account on lemmy.world, but all of the links on that website go to other websites that I’m not logged into and I can’t use my lemmy.world login to sign into (can I?).

So to use the website, I have to go to a second tab to http://lemmy.world/communities# and then search to find the same websites that are on that page.

Am I getting that right, or is there a way to use links in the fediverse to open onto their equivalent on my host? Hope I’m asking this right but I’m very confused about how to handle things like external sites and links.
