I’m probably the only one struggling with this, and if so I apologize… but like how do I login to Lemmy from Google with my username and password? I’ve tried unsuccessfully several times over the last 24 hours and the only reason I’m here now is I finally thought back to how I originally got onto the site was through verifying my email. That’s how I’m here now… but just if someone could please ELI5? I’m not a techie… at all… pretty please?

Lemmy isn't just one website. It is hundreds of different websites. But if you sign up for one of them you can access the others as well.

But it looks like you signed up at lemmy.world and chose the username itsyourmom. The password has nothing to do with your Google password. It can be something else. But it you were able to post here, so I guess everything is all right now, yes?

Yes, I have all of you to thank for helping me figure this out! I don’t have an app or anything for this site, and as I said I’m no genius at technology. I have successfully logged into my account from a Google search of Lemmy.world. I can’t thank you all enough for helping me!
