I'm so confused about Lemmy (lemmy.world)

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.

I just asked how to join another instance because the message made it sound like I was on the wrong instance.

You weren't necessarily on the wrong instance, it was just a (possibly confusingly worded) message informing you of your recourse if you believe the post was removed in error.

You can feel free to join another instance, you won't miss the bulk of the content here thanks to federation.

It was weirdly worded. It sounded like I was on the wrong instance. I think I get it now. Thank you very much.

That message was poorly written. Your message for removed for other reasons than your instance.

Oddly enough it looks like it's back up. Never let them see your next move, I guess.
