Please help a newbie. I thought I had plotting done

Basically, yes If you didn’t select the pool option when plotting, then you can’t join most pools.
Flexfarmer is perfectly fine (very lightweight) I’m not sure if that fixes your problem, but let’s ask @Chris22 who should know.

You can’t farm plots that aren’t on our pool nft with FlexFarmer.

Given that there are compressed plots now though, you may be better off just replotting for them.

If you use this guide Gigahorse Ubuntu Simple Plotting Guide you can plot and farm (using FlexFarmer) without ever syncing the node then run the client in light wallet mode. However, those plots will be locked to Flexpool.
