Learning Lemmy? (dormi.zone)

Hello everyone,

So, I learned about Lemmy through one of the subreddits I'm in participating in the blackout. I don't really 'get' how to Lemmy yet but I like it here.

Is there any material for learning how do use Lemmy effectively? There's a few things I'm not sure 'bout.

I've found some... instances(?), think that's the right term, and would like to join. Do I have to re-create my account/create a new account for each or is there a way to connect my existing account to the new instance?

Is there a way to search for instances of a specific purpose rather than browse a listing of some number of instances?

This page in the docs explains how federation works:
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/federation_getting_started.html

You do not have to create a new account for every instance. You should be able to access the content from other instances from your original account.
