Yeah I have been finding it hard to wrap my head around this federation part.

I tried subscribing to a specific feddit.de community using Jerboa and I haven't been able to yet. Not sure whether I'm misunderstanding something or whether that's not possible.

Jerboa doesn't let you create an account. Just do that step on the web first.

I joined lemmy.world and it took 2 minutes.

Also started lemming on lemmy.world! Seems quite stable and getting popular

I have an account and I'm logged in. I'm posting this from Jerboa. But it's not a feddit.de account. Maybe I'm missing something.

Jerboa search only finds communities that at least 1 person on your instance subscribed to, to find new communities from other instances easily I like to use https://browse.feddit.de/

Then when you find a community, go to the web version of your instance (don't worry it's (mostly) mobile friendly) and type [email protected] (don't forget the !) Then you can subscribe there. Close and reopen Jerboa and your new community will show up in the list. The Jerboa devs are working on fixing this.

Thanks for the detailed instructions!

Multiple servers, all sharing data with one another. Lemmy.ml is just one of them.

Think of discord, but you can access channels from other servers from your own, and see what people write there.
