"Works just like email" is always easy way to explain. Everyone who uses email understands that they can send a message to a @gmail.com account from a @yahoo.com account or any other server.

Ah yeah just like email. All I had to do to comment here from a different instance was:

"Maybe if I click login it will somehow do federated login?" Nope.
Ok what if I copy the /post/<id> from the URL and paste it in my instance. Nope 404.
Hmm...
Aha! I randomly noticed this text:

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]

I did that, but it eventually (takes like 10 seconds) came up with a load of random posts and comments from here.
Maybe... if I click on Fediverse [email protected] - 792 subscribers?

Success!

Just like typing in [email protected]. 🙄

Well most apps take care of that for you. I'm on a different instance and all I had to do was hit the reply button. For most people setting up the account and choosing server is the hardest part. If I handed someone my phone with an account already made they wouldn't even know they are viewing and commenting on different servers hosted by different people. They would just think its a different looking reddit clone. But I don't agree that logging in if your not on your home instance is hard as it requires you to find the post again. Some apps have an option to pull up the post on a different instance but last I checked that's on an option on the web browser.
