So it’s helpful to think of each lemmy server as its own “mini reddit”. It has its own collection of users and communities ( similar to subreddits). The cool thing is you can sign up from any of the lemmy servers and then subscribe to communities and interact with users from any other server. This is because all servers “talk” to all other servers, as long as they’re not defederated ( See beehaw).
I think what the user above you was saying is to do the sign up on your desktop, with the server of your choice (lemmy.world is a decent choice). And then try logging into Jerboa using your credentials( and remembering which server you used to sign up-you can’t sign into a different server from the one you created your account on)
Use the web version to sign up for an instance before trying to sign in to that same instance on jerboa
On Lemmy.world? Or Lemmy.ml?
… I’m really confused about these different sites/instances/defederation.
