Learning Lemmy? (dormi.zone)

Hello everyone,

So, I learned about Lemmy through one of the subreddits I'm in participating in the blackout. I don't really 'get' how to Lemmy yet but I like it here.

Is there any material for learning how do use Lemmy effectively? There's a few things I'm not sure 'bout.

I've found some... instances(?), think that's the right term, and would like to join. Do I have to re-create my account/create a new account for each or is there a way to connect my existing account to the new instance?

Is there a way to search for instances of a specific purpose rather than browse a listing of some number of instances?

Thanks. Still having a pretty bad time of it. I can at-least see Lemmygrad stuff without having to log in so I'll give that a look and see if it makes any of this less frustrating.

Edit: Nope, not really. My best guess for why atm would be Lemmygrad & Dormi.zone not being federated but I know absolutely fuck-all about how Federation works.

Being federated is basically your instance agreeing to show posts and users of another instance. I would be really surprised if dormi.zone was defederated since it seems like a pretty normal instance, lemmygrad would make more sense but it's so popular I don't think many instances have defederated them either. It's probably just a bug, Lemmy has plenty and I've only ever used it on the Jerboa android app, never in browser. Stick with it, maybe some improvements will be made.

Thanks. I think I will be sticking around and poking at it some more it seems like it is just glitchy behavior going on. I can see some communities from Lemmygrad through browsing under all but not the one's I want.
