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?

Your username is from lemmy.world so just go to https://lemmy.world and that will be where you would log in

The “instance” is where your user is held - that’s lemmy.world. Any other instance, like lemmy.ml or sh.itjust.works or any of that won’t let you log in because those instances don’t have your user in their databases, but you can interact with them from your log in through lemmy.world

How did you find out which domain this account belonged to? Apologies for the dumb question

just click their username.

Click on the username, it says "@username@instance" in the detailed username view

When you click on a username you can probably access their profile. There it says username@instance so for this case it's written [email protected]
