I’m not sure if I can post here. Lemmy seems kind of complicated. For instance, I tried to post something and it said I can’t because I’m on a local instance. So how do I find out what instance a community is on and how do I make it so I can post?

An example: I went to https://join-lemmy.org/instances and searched for nostupidqestions and nothing was found.

    That link takes you to a page where you can search for instances, not communities. That’s where you find a server on which to create an account, but not what communities exist.

    You clearly have an account, so you should be able to just find a community, and then post to it. I’ve no idea what kind of error would tell you off for being “on a local instance”. That’s not even a combination of words that makes sense. Instances cannot be “local”.
