Can I ask why creating a new lemmy instance, rather than a new community. Instances are good for centralization, so, not a complain, however it imposes an additional account, :(

It does? Can't you use a single one thanks to federation?

Well, on every lemmy new instance announced, including this one, in order to subscribe into communities, or to post, I need to login, and the lemmy credentials of don't work on them, so it looks to me I have to create a new account, :(

Oh, that's because you're not supposed to log in on the page of their instance! You can view their instance from lemmy.ml. It's not super intuitive right now, but the other person explained a way to do it.

If you go directly on the new instance it's normal but you can post via lemmy.ml on heapoverflow :)
