Yeah I have been finding it hard to wrap my head around this federation part.

I tried subscribing to a specific feddit.de community using Jerboa and I haven't been able to yet. Not sure whether I'm misunderstanding something or whether that's not possible.
Jerboa doesn't let you create an account. Just do that step on the web first.
I joined lemmy.world and it took 2 minutes.
I have an account and I'm logged in. I'm posting this from Jerboa. But it's not a feddit.de account. Maybe I'm missing something.
Jerboa search only finds communities that at least 1 person on your instance subscribed to, to find new communities from other instances easily I like to use https://browse.feddit.de/
Then when you find a community, go to the web version of your instance (don't worry it's (mostly) mobile friendly) and type !name@instan.ce (don't forget the !) Then you can subscribe there. Close and reopen Jerboa and your new community will show up in the list. The Jerboa devs are working on fixing this.
