    So your account is on lemmy.today. What are you trying to do when you say you can’t add the server fedinsfw?

    You should probably be using your lemmy.today account to subscribe to specific communities on fedinsfw.

    It kind of sounds like you might be trying to log in to fedinsfw with your lemmy.today account? It doesn’t work like that, you should log in to lemmy.today and then subscribe to fedinsfw communities.

    It’s also pretty important what you’re using to access Lemmy. There are a dozen or more actively developed apps and at least 4 or 5 different website interfaces. It’s confusing but important to know exactly what steps you took (which website you went to, which app you opened, which buttons you clicked) to get to where you got stuck due to all the options.

        Lemmy doesn’t have a way to add a server to my knowledge, and subscribing to a community is done by clicking a button on the community page on the default lemmy website. It looks like Lemmy.today uses a themed version of the default website so I guess you’re using a mobile app?

            Haha don’t worry, it can be confusing! There are a lot of different mobile apps too (see https://lemmyapps.com/ and filter by your phone type) but it sounds like you’re trying to add a second account. You can only log in to your account on the instance you signed up to it with, then you search for the communities you want to follow (which can be on other instances).

            Some apps let you log in to multiple accounts at once, in which case you could sign up for a new account at fedinsfw then log in to that account in your app, then you’d have two accounts you can switch between.

    It’s not federated on PieFed.social because NSFW, I guess it’s the same on other servers. Make 2 accounts for that, one wherever you want, and the other one on fedinsfw.
