Hexbear is one of many lemmy instances, and so is lemmy.blahaj. Each instance has its own admins and rules. Content can be shared between individual instances.
Edit: You have an account on hexbear, so you can log in to hexbear, not other instances.
But you can comment on other federated instances through your Hexbear account. So instead of logging into lemmygrad with your Hexbear account, you interact with lemmygrad content on Hexbear.
dang i was hoping i could post with my hexbear account. i appreciate the explanation comrade
You can. However, you need to access the community in question through hexbear, not on the instance of that community.
This only works if that other instance hasn't blocked hexbear though.
