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…

This might be hopeless, I can’t even remember what I was looking at tbh. I saw someone link Lemmy on Reddit to say “this is an alternative “ and I clicked that link. And then I clicked sign up. That’s how it happened, but as far as I can tell I can’t access the site from googling Lemmy world… or Lemmy… and that’s where I’m confused. I’m sorry. This is probably very basic stuff here and it’s going wooosh over my head…
Noooo? Instance? Omg. I’m so old, what does that even mean?
Yes, I have all of you to thank for helping me figure this out! I don’t have an app or anything for this site, and as I said I’m no genius at technology. I have successfully logged into my account from a Google search of Lemmy.world. I can’t thank you all enough for helping me!
