No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Enter the instance you would like to follow this community from
What is an instance?
Your instance is the web domain that is hosting Lemmy. So, the instance you joined is lemmy.world. There are many instances, like lemmy.world, such as lemmy.zip, lemmy.today, lemmy.ca, and lemmy.ml (just to name a few). Additionally, there's Piefed, and there are Piefed instances like Piefed.social (where I reside), piefed.world, etc. These instances all share content via "federation".
When you're logged into lemmy.world, you can use the built in search features to find communities (subreddits) you want to subscribe to, to see content posted there on your home feed.
What is an instance?
Some don't like this comparison, but effectively think of lemmy in similar forms to e-mail, IE you can e-mail your friend who uses a different mail service, by adding @whatever.com to their username. the whatever.com in e-mail that's called a domain usually, but in lemmy that's considered the "instance". The only difference is rather than just saying "that's not an address" lemmy assumes if you don't specify, you must mean the one where you are.
An instance is the server hosting your account. It records your interactions in the fediverse.
The site. Lemmy.world is one example (and, since your account is here, the one I'd select), jlai.lu is another. Is this a message you're getting from some app? I haven't seen that from the default web UI.
Yeah. The full message is

I got an error when I put in old.lemmy.world. But it claimed to work with lemmy.world.
I don't see them in my subscriptions yet. I don't know if it didn't work or if it takes time to process.
Interesting, I see that message when attempting to subscribe while not logged in. When you click on !france@jlai.lu / !forumlibre@jlai.lu, does it show your username in the upper right corner or give you the "log in or sign up" text?
Also, I had a message saying "Subscribe Pending" in the sidebar button for a minute or two but it did go through eventually. Sometimes things are just a little slow.
subreddit
prepare for it, OP
IDK what you call them here. And I haven't seen a user guide or anything.
Community.
...haven’t seen a user guide...
Check out the lower right corner of the page. The join-lemmy.org link has some good info.
Prophecy fulfilled.

These links will take you where you want to go on your instance.
The question is somewhat confusing because in the Lemmy interface there isn't really a difference between local and remote communities. If you can access a remote community from your instance, you have the same subscribe button there as on a local one. Difficult to help you without knowing what you're currently doing and seeing.
Go to their Instance (subreddit) clic follow and voilà
If you just search forumlibre from you user interface?, can you click on "communities" and find it there?
