The decentralization has its warta for sure. I'm curious how it's all going to play out. As an example I'm in IT so not an idiot but I'm registered on InfoSec.pub. now I've learned there's better "home" nodes but even though the comments are federated I can't login to a node that isn't my "home" node which is weird to say the least.

It's like email in that sense. You can't log into Hotmail with your Gmail account but you can still access all the content on Hotmail through Gmail.

Same here. I thought you only needed one login for all the servers but that hasn't been the case for me. I'm hoping I find a good app that makes the experience more seemless.

(I keep getting gateway errors too)

You do only need one login, where you're going wrong is trying to actually log in to those different instances. Instead, you can subscribe and post and comment in them from your home instance ๐Ÿ™‚
