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’m not sure. Can you take a screenshot of the error?

The modlog of that community shows all the removed posts, which one is yours? https://lemmy.world/modlog/4230

Also, the Rule 1 of !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world isn't what you quoted, but

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

They didn't quote it. That bit was added by the lemmy.world moderators.

Indeed, I had forgotten LW has that additional messaging system
