How do I join (lemmy.world)

How do I join, I am so frustrated now because you are wasting my time. First it says I need a invite, then I think ok maybe if I create an account on lemmy.world. Then I do that and try but am being asked for a instance. All I know is I am trying to join https://lemmy.world/c/autism but now very much suspecting that this community will be unmoderated and hostile as well given how many tricks you have been using. Communities are either unmoderated or moderated but apply unwritten rules.

If I want to try element-desktop , I am able to login to my account but these discussions are not there. I checked and see there are sessions which I click to verify but they expect me to press something on the device. The device is my case is nixos 24.11 stable on firefox 137.0 but nothing appears. I tried in element to search for lemmy.world and even https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] which I think your saying is a community on the lemmy.world instance, but nothing is found in the search for public spaces or places. When I logged into element it had an option for changing server and I tried lemmy.world but my account was not found and I had to switch back to matrix.com. I guess all is well if I just keep using the browser but I was curious about trying the various clients. Which you say each have their own guides. I guess i should research their guide.

I have no experience with Element, as far as I can tell it's a client for Matrix, which is not directly connected to Lemmy.

What I found was this post. Apparently lemmy.world has Matrix support in addition to Lemmy itself.

This can be a bit confusing since both apparently use "lemmy.world", but I don't think Lemmy and Matrix are connected directly (as in synced). And that's why you can find lemmy.world with Element, but can't see Lemmy stuff with your Matrix login.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
