It would have to be lemmy.world, as thats the instance the account that posted this is on.
OP, what do you mean by "from google"??
So I mean, I had created my account. Looked around. Then popped off. I then closed down all my “tabs” off my phone and then wanted to go onto Lemmy yesterday. Couldn’t remember how I got onto my account before. So I “googled” Lemmy that brought me to a multitude of sites that all had Lemmy in the post or site? Idek guys. I tried to sign in to Lemmy wherever the Google dumped me off and I got the spinning wheel of death. It just spun a green circle mocking me. I lost faith in my tech abilities and moved on. Then tried again another time and caught the wheel of death again. So I was stewing about it wondering how I could be this techtarded and remembered I had to verify my email when I created my account, so I hunted that email back down and clicked on the link it provided and whammo… I was back on. But still couldn’t figure out how to get to that site without that link in my ever growing crap email.. so… thought I’d ask you fine folks how to make it easier for the techtarded me…
I think that wheel just means high load. I get that too sometimes.
Your account only exists on one "instance". Yours is on lemmy.world, when you want to log in, you always need to go to lemmy.world.
But you can still talk to people like me, and see the posts of people like me, and browse and sub to stuff on any instance. I'm on sopuli.xyz, and you can see that if you click my username (or anyone elses).
