Just to make sure... You know you don't need an account on each instance to access it, right?

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I've been Subscribing to them, but the search on Jerboa doesn't look like the pc version and it's got me all kinds of messed up
Yeah, the one in the app can only reliably search stuff that's on the same instance. To grab stuff from other instances with a url or the [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) search, you need be in a browser.
I use Jerboa, unless theres a better app you could recommend so my questions relate to it
So if I want a specific section of an instance (another instances Memes for example) I can find the specific url, and search it here, to Subscribe, and it will show up in my Subscribed tab with everything as normal?
What if I want all the content from a different instance joining my "all" feed from this instance?
What if I want to search that other instance for specific content? If I want a second account for a different preference (like I want to sub to a different language Instance) will that accounts content show up on other Accounts?
I've heard some Instances ban each other, how does that impact searching or Subscribing?
I've noticed comment chains don't seem to go longer than 3? Normal, red side, green side, my Reply will be #4 in a row so I guess I'll just start seeing new colors, or are they Hidden by default?

Yes.
What if I want all the content from a different instance joining my “all” feed from this instance?
For this, at least one user on your instance would have to subscribe to each community on that other instance. The "all" feed is all posts from communities, that at least one user on your instance is subscribed to. This means your instance only gets an influx of content someone on it specifically wanted, on a community by community basis. An instance almost never fetches everything that's on another.
What if I want to search that other instance for specific content?
Search on your instance will find anything that has been federated to your instance. You can also go search on the other instances page, without an account, to see what they have, then use the [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) text in search on your own instance to bring it over. Or just use lemmyverse.net/communities.
If I want a second account for a different preference (like I want to sub to a different language Instance) will that accounts content show up on other Accounts?
No. But you can enable multiple languages for your account to use it with communities and instances of many languages.
I’ve heard some Instances ban each other, how does that impact searching or Subscribing?
De-federating means a server refuses to communicate with a certain other server. This means any content from the communities people were subscribed to, will stop being sent out in either direction. Basically, things freeze. The posts or communities don't disappear on either server, but they stop interacting. If the two servers have always blocked each other, they will simply never directly communicate with each other. Anything that requires the direct connection, wont work (subscribing to stuff and seeing posts/posting).
It is possible, though, that if both servers still federate with the same third server, users from the disconnected servers could talk to each other in the comments of a post that is hosted on the third server.
I’ve noticed comment chains don’t seem to go longer than 3? Normal, red side, green side, my Reply will be #4 in a row so I guess I’ll just start seeing new colors, or are they Hidden by default?
There is no limit. You've just not seen that many yet. When the chain gets too long, it gets split out with "read more" links.
My goals are beyond your comprehension.
We will watch your career with great interest!
