Yeah it’s just a brand of jelly.
To make it more confusing they call jam jelly.

I don’t know what jello is. Is it just plain jelly? Regards, the non-american world (I assume)

No, we call jam jam. Jelly is maybe purely of the juice of a fruit or berry, thickened with pectin and with added sugar. If you use the whole fruit smooshed up but with chunks we call it preserves. We also call marmalade marmalade. It’s made primarily of the skin of citrus fruit, but you probably know that

Tl;dr: you’re on the Internet. Before authoritatively and incorrectly correcting someone, consider using it to verify that you’re actually correct first.
They responded to “US people say this” with “no, US people actually say this”. Then you said “Hey, there are places other than the US”.
Maybe before you correct someone you should check the thread you’re responding to.

Its kinda funny how much effort you put into this comment, despite the context explicitly being about US English
