Does discuss/discourse have federation?

First of, I’m not entirely sure they are the same to be honest, sometimes I see discuss.site-a.com while others it’s discourse.site-b.com?

Anyway, are these federated in some ways?

Not an official implementation, but there were extensive talks about it and someone was working on a plugin.

Is that only between an instance of discourse and the rest of fediverse? Does it also apply for different discourse instances talking to each other?

Essentially, I’m wondering whether I can use 1 account to comment across different forums.

No the software in this case is a classic forum software and stands alone.

You can use any subdomain for any type of instance but if you see it on lemmy then its federated.
