In episode 1e08, the Mandalorian meets the armorer again and has this exchange with her:
Armorer: It looks helpless.
The Mandalorian: It’s injured, but it is not helpless. Its species can move objects with its mind.
Armorer: I know of such things. The songs of eons past tell of battles between Mandalore The Great, and an order of sorcerers called Jedi that fought with such powers.
How does this exchange make sense?
The series takes place a few years after the fall of the Empire. So Luke Skywalker should be a well known figure and probably in the process of training new Jedi.
Even if not, the Mandalorians fought in the Clone Wars, where Jedi were still a somewhat common sight. During the the time of the Empire, Darth Vader and Emperor Palapatine were prominent figures with similar powers.
A Mandalorian joined the Jedi order 1000 years ago, why is such an event unknown to the armorer?
Surely, a learned figure in their community like the armorer knows more about Jedi than tales from a war, which happened thousands of years ago.
The plausibility of this scenario is that The Mandalorian was just a child when he got adopted and the Jedi were massacred shortly after. And of course the Empire did whatever it could to remove all traces of the Jedi.
And although Luke is a famous figure in the Rebellion this is a vast galaxy and it would take decades for him to become a household name compared to high ranking generals or political leaders like Ackbar or Organa.
Why the Mandaolorians specifically don't know what a Jedi is comes from the point that they rebelled Imperial rule and got massacred. This would leave major gaps in their history.
But you are completely right in the fact that doesn't make any sense at all. Seeing it's suggested (due to her position in the order) she is probably at least a decade older then the main character and therefor should have even witnessed the Clone Wars as a teenager/young adult. And the same goes for some of the other members. So unless there was a form of mass amnesia...

Mando was rescued by Deathwatch They clearly knew Jedi and sith at the time of Mandos birth they were fighting mauls rule of Mandalore and Ashoka came to help free them. Then during the siege of Mandalore Kanan and Ezra specifically helped house Wren and house Kryze defeat Clan Saxon who sides with the empire. the jedi are so deeply entwined with the Mandalorians it is impossible for me to believe they have forgotten the Jedi. The fact that the armorer refers to ancient history to find a legend of jedi confounds me. it is less then 30 years since the jedi were a huge influence on both the republic and Mandalore.
