Sure, in retrospect, it was obvious when you look at the url and see the difference between, e.g., https://lemmygrad.ml/c/for_testing_yet_ano@ds9.lemmy.ml and https://ds9.lemmy.ml/c/for_testing_yet_ano, but i ‘very rarely used’/‘forgot about’ the !for_testing_yet_ano@ds9.lemmy.ml in the search bar, and i don’t know how i would have found the instance_id if the web app hadn’t displayed a different url, pheew

T’was impossible to understand because i changed instances in order to get the community, so my instance_id was the same as my id, but i didn’t know what else i could do, and obviously it didn’t make sense that my jwt/login was on an instance and the informations of a community were on another instance, so how could i communicate with both instances in a single request ?

It was perhaps written somewhere with more infos that i’m ignoring, i’ve searched the repo but didn’t find anything.
It also explains the apparent redundancy of the id and the name.

Ah well, it’s always a nice feeling when you’re done searching(, more hours than i’d like to admit in my case ^^)
