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.
I was trying to add the server to Lenny I will try what you said thank you
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?
Yes I am using the mobile app Thank you for that info I’m not good with this stuff
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.
Thank you for that advice bro on other apps for it yeah this one I’m on now will let me add another account but I guess not that one it being nsfw I guess thank you again👍🫂
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.
The person you replied to isn't a Piefed user...
In this case it isn't. Lemmy.today federates with fedinsfw.app.
Thank you I might try that

As you are on lemmy.today, which federates with fedinsfw.app (https://lemmy.today/instances), you should be able to subscribe to (join) communities on fedinsfw, e.g. ![email protected] (https://lemmy.today/c/[email protected]) .
Maybe you need to unblock visibility of posts flagged as nsfw to see any content in the spicy communities.
Good morning I will check it out thank you lots!
