I’m sure this has been asked and answered before but I can’t find it.
How do I subscribe to a community from another instance? I read you just search communities with the url of the community you want to join, but that didn’t work for me. Even with variations in formatting: !community@instance, for example.
Perhaps there should be a sticky somewhere that explains the slight complexities of the fediverse since it’s clearly a bit foreign to most users. I’ve been on lemmy for over a year and I’m constantly discovering functionality I was unaware of thanks to all the new lemons coming in and asking questions.
If you’re using jerboa, sometimes it just doesn’t work, but usually if you do !community@instance in the search bar and wait a little, it shows up.
If it doesn’t, it will show up if you copy and paste it in a new tab or the same search bar.
Happy posting!
