Instance is basically a server. All of the servers talk to each other, so you can post and comment on any one of them. But your physical account resides on only one server. Currently, you can’t migrate your account from one server to another, but it’s planned as a feature in future releases of Lemmy.
Your instance (server) is lemmy.world, so you need to type that in the instance field. Thus, your username on Lemmy (and in the fediverse) is Violet@lemmy.world.

Thanks for this explanation. Where are “subreddits” and how do I find them? Are they on different instances?
“subreddits” are communities. You can find them with the search field from your instance, or using the community browser.
