For those who are new to federation and want to see what it looks like, note that friftar’s account is from feddit.de while this community is from lemmy.world.
I suspect you’re visiting feddit.de directly and then you can’t post because you don’t have an account there. If instead you visit this link to a community hosted there from the server you’re logged in to, you can post.
There’s definitely some room for the software to improve its user experience surrounding that.
ok, on https://lemmy.world/c/main@feddit.de (the equivalent to r/de I guess) the sidebar says I should just search for !main@feddit.de in the lemmy searchbar, but nothing shows up. I did a workaround by putting it in the URL.
Looks like you have the basics figured out.
