Is the machine homed?
You should only be able to jog joints (not axis) before being homed

You can trace motion issues back up the chain by looking (via halshow or halscope)
to see if the commanded joint position is changing as expected

Why do I have to home every single joint before being able to jog and home full axes? Isn´t that dangerous for a gantry type machine, only homing y2 for example?

You would be expected to setup the linked joints to home simultaneously
This is done by using a negative sequence number for linked joints:

As Peter says, you need HOME_SEQUENCE=N for each joint in your ini.
Joints 1 & 2 (your Y axis) need to be HOME_SEQUENCE=-1
Joint 3 (your Z) is usually HOME_SEQUENCE=0 so it lifts up out of the way at the beginning
All of the rest could be HOME_SEQUENCE=1 so they all home simulteneously or you could continue the sequence to do them in sequence eg use 1,2,3 to set the order you want.

What does it look like after that?
