I’m homeless (working on it, have a few interviews coming up) and I noticed that there was a mutual aid community located in hexbear. Do I need to make another account or can I use this one to make a post there? Also if there’s a loan/borrow community let me know.
I don’t think you can even see the communities to post in them with a Lemmy.World account due to the defederation. But then again, some apps let you manually enter the community you’re posting to directly from the post button and I don’t know if that would work. IIRC, Hexbear also defederated from Lemmy.World so that might not work either.
Once a community is de-federated from your instance you may be able to post to it, but it’s the mirror of that community on your current instance not the real community. So nothing you post will go to that outside instance and nothing posted there comes in.
On Mbin, I believe this is something that is being looked at (so we would know), maybe lemmy.world also?
