I am also confused about what @Colt420 is suggesting here. It is clear that you already have a sign up for lemmy.world. This should be enough to log into Jeroba so what you’re seeing is likely just a bug.
It’s all a bit confusing, and ironically I wish there was a sub like r/NoStupidQuestions where I could ask for help.
A few people have replied to me to tell me how the instances work, but I need an ELI3 or something, haha!
Thank you for letting me know that it’s likely just a bug. Will see how this smooths over in the months ahead. :)
I see questions like this pop up on the NoStupidQuestions community on lemmy.world so it seems like a reasonable ask.
But tl;dr: If you are reading and posting on lemmy.world you are seeing and being seen by most people on lemmy in general. Any weird behavior is likely just normal open source growing pains.
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.
