You need to drag the folder that contains the main.lua file, not main.lua itself
lf = love.filesystem
ls = love.sound
la = love.audio
lp = love.physics
lt = love.thread
li = love.image
lg = love.graphics

You can try joining the discord server if you need even faster help, because the forums are a tad slow compared to that.
Unfortunately, what Nixola said should work, so the problem's not really that simple to debug if you're claiming it doesn't work...
...also, why are you registering multiple accounts? just curious.
